Description
The well-house, now used as a store, is attached to the south-east corner of Highlands Farmhouse and dates from around 1800, with some alterations. It features a timber frame on a brick plinth, with weatherboard cladding that is partly tarred and partly painted white, topped with a red tile roof. The structure includes a tall rectangular wing that houses the well, which projects from a lower octagonal horse-gin winding house. This winding house has opposed doorways on the sides next to the wing, a very small window on each adjoining side, and an octagonal pyramidal roof. The wing contains a tall 4-pane fixed window on the side and a 6-pane fixed window at the west end, with the roof hipped at this end. Inside, the winding house has an arch-braced queen-post roof truss with an iron bracket attached to the center of the tie-beam for the former winding shaft, along with radiating raked struts to the rafters. There is also a wooden partition leading to the wing that includes three doorways, although the well itself is now concealed.
