Description

High Bank Ground Farmhouse and Barn is a pair of houses and outbuildings dating from the 18th century, with early 19th-century alterations and a mid to late 19th-century bank barn. The buildings are constructed of stone, with the house section being roughcast and featuring slate roofs. The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with the first two bays likely added later. It has wide verges and eaves, and the windows are mostly sashed with glazing bars, except for a casement window in the third bay on the ground floor.

The entrances are adorned with gabled trellis porches, and the right entrance features a wide-board door with a wooden lock and strap hinges. The structure includes a cross-axial stack and gable-end stacks. The left side of the house has a window with a pointed sash, while the right side has a two-bay gabled wing with a rectangular bay window that has paired sashes. At the rear of the house, there is a lean-to outshut and a small gabled wing, with a rear kitchen wing on the right side that connects to an outbuilding to the west, which has sashed windows with glazing bars.

The range with a granary on the first floor forms the third side of the backyard. These outbuildings feature collar and tie beam trusses and slate dripcourses, along with an external stair leading to the granary and remnants of two-light wood-mullioned windows on the first floor. The north side includes a pivoted door and an infilled passage. The bank barn to the west has north-facing pivoted barn doors and ventilation slots, while the south side features a winnowing door above cow house doors, all with slate-hung lintels. The cow house is supported by quatrefoil iron columns beneath the joist.
