Higher Skellies

Higher Skellies is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed with rendered cob and rubble walls and topped with a gable-ended thatch roof. It features two projecting rendered rubble stacks with brick shafts at each gable end. The layout consists of a two-room plan with an unheated central service room and a passage at the front. The two main rooms are heated by fireplaces located at the gable ends.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, which are 20th-century two-light small-paned casements. There is also a 20th-century flat-roofed addition to the right of the centre, which includes a part-glazed door.

Inside, the left-hand room contains an open fireplace with a roughly chamfered wooden lintel, while the right-hand fireplace features a higher chamfered wooden lintel with run-out stops.
