Highlands Farmhouse

Highlands Farmhouse is a circa 1800 farmhouse built of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a red tile roof. The building has a rectangular double-depth plan, augmented by a rear service wing and a smaller wing on the right-hand side, linked to a well-house. It is two storeys high with a cellar and attic, and has a symmetrical three-bay facade. The central doorway features a round-headed design with a raised brick surround and stucco imposts, likely remnants of a former pedimented architrave. A panelled and glazed door is set beneath a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The ground floor has canted bay windows with sashes of 12 panes at the front, and 8 panes on the sides, with weatherboard cladding below the sills. The first floor has sashes of 16, 12, and 16 panes respectively. The building has dentilled eaves and a rectangular hipped roof with chimney stacks on the side ridges. The left return wall includes French windows with margin panes, a doorway, and a segmental-headed window toward the rear. A bell is situated beneath a wooden canopy under the eaves, and there are two inserted flat-roofed dormers in the roof. The right-hand return wall has a 16-pane sash window on each floor, two similar dormers, and a tall, single-storey wing containing a 16-pane sash in the gable wall, and which is attached to the well-house. The rear elevation incorporates a large central service wing with large segmental-headed windows and a hipped roof at the junction. The interior is not of particular interest.
