Description
High Lodore Farmhouse and the adjoining barn are located in Borrowdale and date from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with the barn being from the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of whitewashed slate rubble and are topped with a graduated greenslate roof, featuring 20th-century roughcast chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with a single-bay extension to the left that shares a common roof. To the right is a long, slightly higher barn.
The farmhouse has a top-glazed panelled door set within a gabled slate-slab porch. It features sash windows with glazing bars in plain reveals, with the left window located in a blocked doorway. The extension has steps leading up to a plank door in a plain opening, and there is a fixed casement window beneath a sash window, both in plain reveals. The barn includes plank doors and a casement window below a plank loft doorway, along with slit vents.
