High Green House

High Green House is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. It is two storeys tall and was originally two storeys with attics. The building is timber-framed and rendered, featuring remnants of comb-patterned pargetting in panels on the front, and has a clay pantile roof. An internal red brick chimney stack has sawtooth shafts and corbelled heads on a square base. The front displays random fenestration, including some mid-20th century casement windows and three small original four-light windows with ovolo-moulded mullions. On the rear wall, there is one upper window that has been reinstated as a five-light oriel with ovolo-moulded mullions and small supporting brackets, alongside a four-light original window similar to those on the front. Inside, the house features good quality, plain framing and exposed ceilings. A join in the wallplates along the line of the stack indicates that the house consists of two builds, which are quite close in date. The relationship of the trusses to the chimney stack suggests that the chimney may be secondary and that there may have been a smoke-bay originally. The roof has clasped side purlins and no principal rafters. An original diamond-mullioned window in the apex of the gable on the north-west side once lit the former attic. Additionally, there is a 19th-century wing at the rear, which is rendered and pantiled, featuring 20th-century fenestration and an end chimney.
