Description
High House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble stone with plain raised quoins and features a double Roman tiled roof with brick stacks. The building is two stories high and has three windows across the front. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled door set within a beaded architrave, topped with a keystone and a pedimented canopy supported by brackets. On either side of the door, there are 12-pane sash windows, also in beaded architraves. The first floor has three additional sash windows in beaded architraves.
On the right side of the building, there is a sash window on the ground floor and a single casement window in the attic. The wing to the right features a planked door and casement windows. At the rear, there are two gable wings; the right wing has three-light cyma-mullioned casements, while the left wing has two-light cyma-mullioned casements. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in June 1986. The farmhouse was formerly known as Mad Doctors Farmhouse.
