Description
High House Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, dated 1700 in metal figures on the two front gables. It is constructed of red brick with dark headers and features a moulded brick band at the first floor level, along with a brick modillion eaves cornice that continues on the gable ends. The roof is plaintiled at the front and pantiled at the rear. The building has two storeys and attics, with a symmetrical facade that includes four windows, which are modern cross windows set under shallow segmental arches. There is one blank panel on the ground floor and two on the first floor. A small porch, possibly from the 19th century, has a Dutch-gabled parapet and a mid-20th century four-panel door within the original heavy doorframe. At attic level, there are two Dutch gables, each featuring a single two-light window. The farmhouse has a central internal stack with a large recessed panel on each face and two-bay gable ends with Dutch gables. At the rear, there is a timber-framed and slated lean-to that likely formed part of the previous farmhouse on the site.
