Description

High House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century and features an earlier wing along with later alterations. The building has a painted timber frame and painted render, with a painted rendered plinth. The roof is gabled and covered with plain tiles, hipped to the east, and there is a stone stack with a 20th-century ridge chimney. The structure consists of a 3-bay range that originally had a baffle entrance in the right-hand bay, and an earlier 2-bay range forms a cross wing to the right.

The exterior is two stories high. The south front displays square framing that is 5 panels high, with a straight tension brace to the left. The framing is underbuilt to the right with rendered masonry that is painted to imitate timber framing. There are three 20th-century metal casements with leaded lights, along with a single earlier casement to the centre right. The left-hand gable end features square framing that is also 5 panels high, with straight tension braces on the first floor. The gable-end truss includes a tie beam, twin collars, and vertical struts, with a single 2-light casement at the first-floor level. The roof shows twin trenched purlins.

On the right side, the wall frame of the earlier cross wing has square framing that is 3 panels high. The rear of the building has three bays of the main range that are square-framed, with twin straight tension braces in the middle bay at both storeys. There are three casements, and the ground floor is covered by a 20th-century lean-to extension. To the left is the gable end of the earlier cross wing, which has square framing, a cambered tie beam, vertical struts, and a collar, with 20th-century casements on both floors.

Inside, the ground-floor middle bay features twin chamfered bridging beams with stepped concave chamfer stops. There is a large ashlar stack with back-to-back inglenooks and chamfered mantelbeams that have ogee chamfer stops.
