Description
High House and the attached stable with hayloft is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with later alterations. An extension has been added to the northeast, and wings have been added to the southeast. The building features roughcast render over rubble, slate drips, and a graduated greenslate roof with a stone ridge. There is a massive chimney stack at the center of the north wing with a tapering circular shaft, along with two smaller chimneys. The structure has an irregular H-plan and consists of two storeys.
The lean-to porch has an inner door made of oak battens with studs, a 20th-century outer door, and a window. To the left, there is a 19th-century small paned window with a 19th-century sash above it, and to the right, there are 20th-century casements on each floor. Although the interior is inaccessible, it is said to have flagged floors, an early 16th-century moulded beam, some 17th-century doors, an 18th-century fireplace with a moulded surround, and a two-tier cupboard dated 1687 in the kitchen. There is also an oak staircase with a moulded handrail and square balusters.
