Description
Highstead Farmhouse is an early 19th century building that likely originated as a late medieval timber-framed structure. It is two storeys high and constructed of yellow brick. The house features a steeply pitched old tiled roof with a large smoke goblet on the left side and one hipped dormer. There are three sash windows with intact glazing bars, and a later porch has been added to the front.
