Description

Higher Trevartha is a farmhouse dating from around the 17th century, with a rear outshut added in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of rubblestone and is whitewashed on the left-hand hipped end. It features concrete or rendered lintels above the ground floor windows on the front. The roof is slate with hipped ends, and there are brick chimney shafts in the hipped ends. The farmhouse has a three-room layout with a through passage plan and a dairy at the rear. It stands two storeys tall and has a regular four-window front. The ground floor includes a three-light 20th-century casement window with diamond lights to the left, and a four-light and a three-light similar window to the right of a wide 18th-century six-panelled door, which has glazed top lights. An open porch with a slated gable end features painted columns with rounded caps. The first floor has four three-light 20th-century windows. At the rear, the outshut extends with an open verandah that has a corrugated roof. The interior has not been inspected.
