Description

High House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with the facade covered in colourwashed brick and a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell plan with a cross passage entry.

The windows are mid-20th century small pane casements. There are two doorways: one has a four-panel door with the upper two panels glazed, while the other is a mid-20th century door with an entablature and triangular pediment, although part of the pediment was temporarily missing at the time of the survey. The farmhouse also has two flat-roofed dormers added in the 20th century.

Inside, there is a notable internal stack with four detached octagonal flues, featuring moulded brick bases and rebuilt linked star caps. One of the ground floor rooms contains a 4-centre arched brick fireplace, which dates back to the early 17th century and is surrounded by a frieze of strapwork pargetting, partly restored. Additionally, there is a good original plank and muntin partition on the ground floor.
