Description

High Greenrigg House and adjoining barns is a former farmhouse, now a private house, with associated barns. The main structure dates to 1660, with alterations recorded in 1715 inscribed above the front entrance as "I & M G 1715", and further 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of painted render and limestone rubble walls, with a rebuilt roof of graduated greenslate and rebuilt stone chimney stacks. The original plan shows two storeys and three bays, with a two-bay extension to the right, a barn adjoined to the left, and a further 19th-century barn to the extreme right, all sharing a common roofline.

The cross-passage entrance has a top-glazed panelled door set within a chamfered surround, featuring a panel-inscribed frieze and cornice. A central 20th-century door occupies a partially original surround, reusing an existing lintel. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within 1715 surrounds; one window incorporates the lintel of a former three-light stone-mullioned window. A small, chamfered fire window is located to the left of the cross passage, with a matching window above. The extension has a plank door within a chamfered surround, topped by a Tudor arch, and sash windows with glazing bars in red sandstone surrounds. The barn to the left has a top-glazed six-panel door near the house, with a loft window replaced with a sash window containing glazing bars. The barn to the right features a 20th-century glazed cart entrance and upper-floor windows, with matching windows to the rear.

The interior of the house retains a beamed ceiling. A rear outshut features a two-light stone-mullioned window. An altered outbuilding to the rear of the house is not considered historically significant but incorporates a reused lintel inscribed and dated "MT, GW, PG 1673 GH".
