Description

Higher Farm House, including the attached farm building, is a farmhouse with attached farm buildings that likely dates from the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions. The house features rubble stone walls and a patent tile roof with coped gables. There are brick stacks at the gable ends and at the junction of the two wings. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two storeys high. In the main range, both the ground and first floors each have three casements with horizontal glazing bars. The projecting wing at the left end has a ledged door with a glass panel, and both floors of this wing have one casement with horizontal glazing bars. One ground floor room includes a large open fireplace with a moulded timber lintel. There is a small lean-to extension on the left of the wing. Attached to the house on the right is a U-shaped range of farm buildings, which have rubble stone walls and slate roofs with deep eaves and bargeboards. This single-storey range has an open front supported by timber posts, and the front range features stable doors and shuttered windows.
