Highlands Farmhouse

Highlands Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is timber framed and faced with red brick in English bond, topped with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a T-plan layout facing west, featuring one axial stack and two internal end stacks in the main range, along with a side stack in the rear range. There is a two-storey extension at the rear right angle and a single-storey lean-to extension to the right, which forms a catslide with the main roof and is weatherboarded.

The house has two storeys with attics and a three-window range of tripartite sashes with 4-12-4 lights set in gauged flat brick arches, featuring crown glass. There are three 18th and 19th century casements in gabled dormers. The central entrance has 20th century glazed double doors with original side lights, also with crown glass, beneath a shallow canopy. A joint in the brickwork on the southwest corner indicates that originally only the main elevation was bricked, with false quoins, and that the side elevation was bricked later.

Inside, there is a large wood-burning hearth in the right ground-floor room, which has a blocked aperture for a former bread oven. Most beams are boxed in, but one on the first floor is chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. Additionally, there is a built-in desk in the rear entrance hall and several early 19th century cast iron grates, including one on the first floor with side water cisterns and brass taps.
