Description
High Farmhouse is a 15th-century timber-framed farmhouse. The ground floor was rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick in a Flemish bond with grey brick headers. The first floor has fishscale tiles, and the roof is plain tile with a steeply-pitched hip. A multiple brick ridge stack is located towards the centre of the roof. The farmhouse has an irregular fenestration of three windows, including two 3-light casements and one small 2-light casement. A 20th-century brick lean-to porch stands beneath the stack, featuring a door of six fielded panels. There is also a lean-to to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
