Higher Kennelands

Higher Kennelands is a farmhouse that dates from the early to mid-17th century, possibly with earlier origins, and was extended in the 19th century. The building features rendered cob and rubble walls and has a gable-ended slate roof. There are brick stacks at each end and a projecting rendered rubble front lateral stack. The layout consists of a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end to the left and the hall heated by the front lateral stack. The passage is now blocked by a 20th-century straight-run staircase. A 19th-century addition at the left-hand end was likely originally a dairy or outbuilding.

The exterior has two storeys and an asymmetrical four-window front, featuring mid to late 20th-century two-light casements without glazing bars. The central part of the house projects parallel with the lateral stack, and there is a 20th-century plank door located to the left of centre. The 19th-century addition is set back from the left-hand end and includes a 20th-century glazed porch. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey but may contain features such as exposed ceiling beams and open fireplaces.
