Higher Farm House

Higher Farm House is an 18th-century farmhouse located on the south side of High Street in Thorncombe. The building features brick walls that are rendered on the street and rear facades, topped with a corrugated asbestos slate roof. It has brick stacks located centrally on the ridge and at each gable. The house is one and a half storeys tall and includes a central buttress.

The façade has a five to six window range, which features four dormers with 20th-century casements, along with weatherboarded gables and sides. The northeast gable is adorned with stone coping. A distinctive aspect of the gable wall is its red brick construction, which includes an open lozenge pattern made of burnt headers. Additionally, there is one brick buttress and one heavy rubble stone buttress, making the gable wall a notable feature as one approaches the house from the street.
