Description

Highlands Farmhouse is a house with a 19th-century facade that may be part of an earlier building. The ground floor is rendered, while the first floor is covered with banded plain and fishscale tiles. It has a plain tile roof and consists of two storeys with attics. There is a projecting brick stack on the left gable end and two hipped dormers. The windows feature irregular fenestration with two 3-light casements. A ribbed door is located in a later lean-to on the right side. The rear of the building has a narrower parallel range. The interior has not been inspected. The property was formerly known as Highland Farm.
