Higher Cliff

Higher Cliff is a house, originally two cottages associated with limekilns, dating from the mid to late 18th century. Constructed of stone rubble, the walls are painted above ground floor level and the roof is covered with asbestos slates, featuring gable ends. The building has projecting chimney stacks on its gable ends.

The plan has been altered; it likely began as two single-depth cottages, subsequently converted into a three-room house by removing a central partition and inserting a staircase at the rear. The front facade is asymmetrical, with three windows. The ground floor has two late 19th-century two-light casements, a mid-19th century casement with stanchion bars, a 20th-century glazed door with a corrugated plastic hood on the right, and a 19th-century two-light casement on the far right; all windows have timber lintels. The first floor has two 19th-century centre-hung two-light casements, with a small window inserted between them.

The interior has also been altered, featuring a 20th-century chimney piece on the right-hand gable end, a renewed timber lintel on the left-hand gable end, and a simple 19th-century staircase. The roof is likely from the mid to late 18th century, with lapped and pegged collars.

The property adjoins limekilns on the left-hand gable end.
