Description
High House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It features pebbledash rendering that conceals brick and timber framing, and has plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high. The entrance front has a doorway to the right and irregularly scattered fenestration, including 20th-century casements—two on the first floor and three on the ground floor. There is a tall narrow window that lights the staircase to the left. The farmhouse has a brick dentilled eaves cornice, a central brick stack, and a projecting end stack to the right.
There is a two-storey gabled wing from the 18th or 19th century at right angles to the left, which includes a dairy on the lower floor and is accessed by an external staircase on the left. Behind this wing, there are two structural bays that are one storey high with a dormer-lit attic, featuring 20th-century casements and brick stacks. A late 20th-century one-storey extension is located at the front of the right-hand gable end, which is masked externally by the 18th or 19th-century dairy. The roof form of the right-hand gable end displays the characteristic 17th-century style, with V-shaped struts above the collar.
