Description
Highfields Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse that has also served as an inn and is now a farmhouse again. It features red brick construction and an asbestos slate roof with coped verges supported by carved stone kneelers and integral end stacks. The building has an L-plan layout, with a lower range at right angles to the rear on the right side and a two-storey lean-to extension. It stands two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves cornice. The front has three windows, which are 16-paned glazing bar sashes with gauged heads. The central entrance is framed by a plain pilastered doorcase with panelled reveals and a six-panel door, although the middle panels have been glazed and the bottom panels are boarded over. This building was formerly known as The Red Lion Public House, and Top Street is referred to as High Street on the Ordnance Survey map.
