High House

High House is an 18th-century red brick house located on Newland Street. It has two storeys and cellars, although it originally had three storeys before the upper storey was removed and the roof lowered. This building was once a particularly complete and interesting example of 18th-century architecture, based on a design from Abraham Swan's "Designs in Architecture" published in 1757.

The house features a five-window range with double-hung sash windows that have glazing bars, except for the lower sashes on the ground storey. These windows are set in plain reveals and topped with flat rubbed brick arches. The central window is notable for rising above a balustraded panel and is framed by a wood moulded and shouldered architrave with projecting keystones.

The central doorway is accessed by a flight of stone steps, which still has one remaining iron handrail. It features a wood doorcase with plain Ionic columns, a frieze, and a modillion pediment, creating a striking central feature along with the window above. The cellars are equipped with ornamental iron gratings. The rear facade has been extended on the ground storey in the 20th century, and the roof is hipped and tiled.

High House is part of a group with Nos 22 to 26 (even).
