Description

High House is a house built around 1770 to 1775, with 19th and 20th-century alterations. It was possibly developed by Mark Spencer. The front is made of limestone ashlar, while the basement and rear are constructed of rubble. The house features a double pile parapeted mansard roof, with Welsh slate on the front and pantile on the rear. There is a coped gable wall to the right with two ashlar stacks, now with one early clay pot. A staircase leads to the front entrance.

The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window range. The first floor has three plate glass horned sashes in splayed reveals with lowered stone sills. The second floor has three similar sashes with stone sills. On the ground floor, there are two similar sashes to the right and a six-panel door to the left, featuring flush beaded, fielded, and glazed panels, along with a cast iron lion's mask knocker in a beaded reveal. This door is accessed by two steps leading to a Pennant paved crossover, which includes a cast iron footscraper. The basement has two six-over-six sashes in splayed reveals with stone sills, a 20th-century door with an overlight under the crossover, and concrete area steps. There is a double dormer with a plate glass sash to the left and a six-over-six sash to the right. A band course runs over the ground floor, supporting an attached wrought iron balcony with an iron slatted deck on wrought iron brackets, a modillion cornice, and a coped parapet. A lead hopper head is located at the eaves to the left. The rear elevation, which is partially visible, has three grouped plate glass sashes, narrower to the left and right, on the second floor, along with plate glass sashes in the dormers.

The interior has not been inspected. The property also features attached wrought iron railings and a gate with arrow heads on concrete-coated bases.
