Description
High Wray Farmhouse and the attached outbuilding date back to 1628, with later alterations and additions. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with some areas rough-cast, and features a slate roof. It stands two storeys high and has four bays, with the second two bays forming the main house, which is roughcast. There is a drip course above the ground floor of these two bays. The windows are small-paned casements.
The entrance is located between the second and third bays and includes an open slate-slab gabled porch with a half-glazed door. The first two bays have windows with slated lintels and casements on the ground floor. There is a second bay and an entrance to the first floor that is accessed by steps leading to the first bay. The building includes a cross-axial stack and a gable-end stack.
At the rear, there is a gabled wing with gable-end stacks, a re-entrant stair wing to the left, and a lean-to outshut to the right. The windows in this section also have casements, and there is a two-light wooden mullioned window with leaded glazing in the gable end of the wing. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a court cupboard with the initials 'WWA' and the date.
