Description
Barham House is a late 18th century house located on the north side of Harrold High Street. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping. The building has a double pile design with parallel ridges, standing two storeys high with attics.
The house includes three box gabled dormers and three first floor sash windows with glazing bars, where the outer windows have three lights each. On the ground floor, there are two three-light sash windows flanking a six-panel door that is topped by a semi-circular traceried fanlight. The door has panelled reveals and an architrave surround, and there is a shallow porch supported by Doric columns.
