Description
High Row Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-16th century. It is timber framed, mostly plastered, with the left gable end covered in 19th-century red brick and the right gable boarded. The roof is plain tiled and the building has a three-cell layout, originally featuring a cross-entry. It stands two storeys tall and has mid-20th-century single-paned casement windows. The entrance is a lobby entry with a 20th-century boarded door. There is an internal stack, which is a later addition, with the original plain shaft located just behind the roof ridge. A mid-20th-century conservatory is attached to the left gable end.
Inside, the farmhouse has a five-bay frame that is partly exposed. The hall and parlour feature heavy plain ceiling joists and massive lintels over blocked fireplaces. There is an original plank and muntin screen against the cross-passage, while the service partition has been removed except for a central post. The service end was originally divided axially into two sections, with plain joists and mortices for a window that had heavy diamond mullions. A cambered tie beam over the hall chamber has one heavy brace, with the other brace removed. A newel stair is present, but the roof has not been examined.
