Description
High Trees Farm is a 16th-century farmhouse that was later heightened, had a floor inserted, and a rear lateral hall chimney built in the late 17th century. It underwent renovations in the late 19th century and around 1942. The house is constructed of timber frame and roughcast, topped with a steep old red tile roof. It has an L-shaped plan and faces south, with a rear gabled wing at the northwest. The building originally functioned as a single-storey open hall house, possibly with a two-storey wing to the west. The front is asymmetrical, featuring three windows on each floor and a gabled porch located a third of the way from the eastern end. The windows are flush 2-light casements with painted margins. There is an external gable chimney on the eastern side and a later internal gable chimney on the western side. Inside, the structure includes jowled posts, a wall plate, and cut tie-beams from the older construction. A 17th-century rear door with three vertical panels, the middle one being moulded, is also present.
