High House

High House is a house dating from 1902-3, designed by C.R. Ashbee. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone with a stone slate roof and an ashlar ridge stack. The building has a rectangular plan, with a main entrance in the gable facing the street. There is an integral outshot to the left and a likely later outshot to the right with a concrete tile roof. The front elevation is gabled, with two windows, and features oak lintels above the first-floor three-light and attic-floor two-light wooden casements. Stone lintels are above the central plank front door, flanked by two-light and three-light wooden casements with iron opening lights. The interior has not been inspected. The house was built for a member of the Guild, incorporating lower courses of masonry and materials reused from an earlier cottage that previously occupied the site. The design is simple, illustrating Ashbee's attention to integrating new construction into the existing streetscape.
