Description
High Bethecar is a farmhouse dating from 1756, as indicated by the inscribed keystone on the fireplace. The building features stone rubble construction with quoins on the left side and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a bank barn to the right and an outbuilding to the left. The windows are 20th-century casements, and there is a gabled porch located between the second and third bays. The farmhouse has three cross-axial stacks. The outbuilding includes a partly blocked large entrance, while the barn has an entrance, small lights, and a pitching hole. At the rear, there is an outshut and a stair wing beneath a catslide roof. The barn doors are accessed via a ramp. Inside, there is a stone fireplace with a corbelled lintel featuring a key and a moulded opening. A cupboard has doors that are partly panelled and partly open, with turned balusters.
