Description

High Meadow Farmhouse and the attached stables with granary date from the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed of brick and features dentil course eaves and a tiled roof. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of the farmhouse wing and the stables wing.

The farmhouse wing is three stories high and has a front with a three-window range of 18th-century wood mullion and transom windows. The windows have 19th-century iron casements and are set in segmental arched openings, with three lights on the sides and two lights in the center on the ground and first floors. The second floor has three-light casements flanking a central two-light casement. The stable wing projects to the left of the farmhouse. The rear of the building features various scattered 18th and 19th-century casement windows in brick arched openings, with lean-to and flat-roofed outshuts covering the ground floor. The gable end of the stable wing is located to the right.

The stable front, which projects from the return side of the farmhouse, is two stories high and has a mullioned window opening on each floor to the right. There is an external flight of brick steps with ashlar treads inset in the corner under the eaves to the left, leading to first-floor boarded doors. There are two brick arches under the stairs; one is blind, while the other leads to a plain doorframe and boarded door. To the right, there is a plain boarded door in a segmental arched opening. The return gable end has framed window openings on each floor in segmental arched openings, and the rear gable features a pitching hole at the first floor and a boarded door at the ground floor.

The interior of the stables has a three-bay, double trenched purlin roof supported by two king-post trusses.
