Description

Highfield House is a house from the early 19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier building, with later alterations and additions. It features a rendered exterior and a hipped asbestos slate roof with side stacks, forming an L-shape. The house has two storeys and three windows, all of which are 16-pane sashes with keystones and stepped voussoirs. The central entrance is a six-panelled door with a reeded transom and a fanlight that has radial glazing bars, surrounded by a moulded round-headed frame. The building also has a plinth, quoin strips, and an eaves cornice.

To the left, there is a wing that is set back, which has smaller sashes at both the ground and first floors in plain reveals, along with a high parapet wall and coping. The right side of the house has three windows, with the central ones being blind, a sash at the ground and first floors on the left, and another sash at the first floor on the right, along with a 20th-century glazed door to the right. At the rear, there is a single-storey wing that includes two sashes similar to those on the front, a round-headed window with 20th-century glazing bars, and a 20th-century plate-glass window.

The left side features a small canted bay on the left with margin-glazed windows, a 20th-century door to the right, and a first-floor window on the right that has a three-light margin-glazed casement from the later 19th century. The rear has a gable end on the right with a 20th-century plate-glass window at the ground floor, a 20th-century sash to the left, and a round-headed sash with splayed glazing bars for the stair light, along with a 20th-century glazed door, a single light, and a flat-roofed single-storey addition in the angle of the L-plan, featuring two 20th-century windows at the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
