Description
High House is a house of circa 1450, with significant alterations and additions dating from the 18th, 19th, and later centuries. It is timber framed and clad in weatherboarding, with red plain tile roofs; the roof of the left-hand crosswing is hipped. There are chimney stacks on both sides. The facade has a 1:1:2 window arrangement, featuring vertically sliding sash windows with glazing bars, with the crosswing windows being tripartite. A small-paned French door is located on the right. The front door is panelled with a moulded surround, topped by a moulded and dentilled open pediment supported by brackets.
The original build comprised two bays and retains a heavy moulded bridging joist with run-out stops and jowled storey posts. Two three-board doors with hinges are also original features. A restored red brick fireplace has a chamfered mantel beam. Interior features include stick balusters to the staircase, a fine moulded and dentilled fire surround with patera to the right and left, moulded dados, skirtings, architraves, doors, and shutters. A bedroom has a moulded cast iron basket grate fireplace, and an alcove cupboard. Another bedroom features a cast iron fire surround from the 19th century.
