Higher Overton Farmhouse

Higher Overton Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse that includes remnants of earlier work and mid-19th century alterations and additions. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, with some parts in ashlar, and features a blue machine tile roof with verge parapets and brick ridge stacks on either side of the central axis. The farmhouse has a 'T'-shaped plan due to later additions at the rear.

The front of the building is three stories high and has three windows. The windows are primarily block mullioned casements, except for those on the ground floor to the left and right, which have now-fitting shutters as of October 1984. There are two widely spaced ranges of windows flanking a roughly central entrance, with two lights on the first and second floors and three lights on the ground floor. The ground floor also features 20th-century windows to the left and right, along with a 20th-century gabled single-storey porch and entrance, as well as a single-storey addition to the left.

Three distinct building phases can be seen in the frontage. The larger blocks on the left, which are up to two stories high, correlate with the construction details of a nearby barn dated 1740. These larger blocks extend to the center line of the porch, with smaller blocks to the right. The larger blocks appear to belong to a later upper storey. The fenestration details are reasonably coherent, suggesting that the time span of the construction phases may have been short.
