Highway Farmhouse

Highway Farmhouse is a mid to late 16th century farmhouse featuring two bays and a fire bay, with a single bayed parlour wing to the northeast. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with an adjoining 19th century brick dairy bay to the northwest, which has had its roof raised. It has a steeply pitched modern tile roof and a large, repaired brick stack. The south range is one storey with an attic, featuring two gabled dormers and two modern casements on the ground floor. There is a central doorway leading to a lobby entry, which was formerly the fire bay. Each gable end has one 17th century three-light casement with ovolo mullions. The east gable end has one horizontal sliding sash with glazing bars on the first floor, while the west gable end has an early 17th century two-light casement with a diamond mullion.

The parlour wing is two storeys high, with a modern tile roof and modern fenestration. Inside, the east and west bays of the south range were originally open to the roof, with floors inserted in the 17th century. The stop-chamfered joists in the west room are painted with red and black chevrons, and the studs are similarly decorated. The fire bay, which originally had two chimneys, features smoke blackened timbers. The roof has a yoked ridge piece to a through purlin, with long, straight bracing from the wall plate to the purlin, and short incised carpenter's marks. The south wall plate has a face halved scarf joint with four edge pegs. The ceiling of the parlour wing has unmoulded joists laid flat.
