Description
High House is a house dated 1753, located on Hay Green Road in Terrington St. Clement. It is built of brick and has a plain tile roof. The house has two storeys and is arranged in three bays. The central entrance features a fielded panel door with HL hinges set within panelled reveals. Fluted pilasters support a Doric frieze and a Doric pediment above the door. There are sash windows on either side of the door, each with glazing bars and set beneath gauged skewback arches. A flat brick string course runs between the storeys. On the first floor, there are three sash windows with glazing bars, also beneath gauged skewback arches. Above the string course is a plain parapet, which features a datestone in the centre that reads "Win. C. Allen 1753." The roof is gabled with internal end stacks and includes three flat-topped dormers with casements, and the gable heads have tumbling.
At the rear, there is a cross wing that is hipped to the east, with one 19th-century sash window on the ground floor and two sashes on the first floor, all with glazing bars and beneath gauged skewback arches. The internal west stack is present, and the west gable also shows tumbling. To the right and left of the main structure are additions that have a catslide roof.
Inside, the entrance hall retains a timber fire surround with a carved overmantel that features a carved escutcheon displaying three battering rams, which are the arms of the Bertie family. Above this is a coved set-back segmental arch with egg and dart details. The open cut staircase has floral tread ends, bobbin-turned balusters, and a wreathed handrail. In the kitchen, there are two bridging beams with tongue stops.
