High Hackhurst

High Hackhurst is a house dating back to the 16th century, with possible origins in an earlier structure. It was extended during the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The house is timber framed, with a close stud pattern visible on the first floor on the right side, covered with cement infill. The lower parts are built of galletted sandstone rubble with brick dressings. A pebble-dashed first-floor extension exists to the left, over an ironstone and galletted sandstone rubble ground floor. The right-hand extension incorporates a mix of rubblestone, sandstone blocks, and some chalk blocks to the rear. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The original section is three bays wide, and it has been extended to the left end and to the front on the right. There is tension bracing on the first floor. Chimneys are located at both ends and centrally at the rear. There are two four-light casement windows across the first floor, and one blocked window. There are also two larger ground floor windows. A half-glazed door is situated at the left end, set within an architrave surround and sheltered by a flat hood supported by brackets. On the left-hand gable, there is a three-light window on both the first floor and the ground floor. The left-hand return front has incised render on the ground floor and tile hanging above. A pentice is positioned at the rear right. A wing extends at a right angle to the rear, connected to a parallel range running across the end.
