Description
High Trees Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 15th century and was extended in 1611, with some alterations made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with painted brick and rendered infill, topped with a machine tile roof. The building is oriented north-east to south-west and includes a cross-wing at the northern end.
On the north-west front, there is a two-storey cross-wing to the left, which is dated 1611. This section has a 3-light casement window on each floor, and the date is carved into a gable stud. The cross-wing also features a jettied tie-beam and a lateral external stack made of rubble and brick, which has two diamond-plan brick shafts. The framing consists of three square panels high on the first floor and close-studded on the ground floor, both supported by straight tension braces.
To the right of the cross-wing, there is a one-storey range with an entrance at the left-hand end. This entrance is framed by a 19th-century pilastered wooden doorcase with a 3-pane overlight, and to the right of the entrance is another 3-light casement window. The framing in this section is mostly close-studding. Inside the cross-wing, there is a panelled room that features a fluted frieze and a pair of dragons on the overmantel.
