Description
High Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early to mid 18th century. The main range has earlier origins, with a later rear range added. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and features a hearth-passage double-depth plan. The building is two storeys high and has four bays, with quoins on the right side. In the third bay, there is a part-glazed door set in a rusticated quoined surround. The windows have narrow ashlar surrounds, with sashes that have glazing bars on the ground floor and 9-pane unequally-hung sashes on the first floor. An ovolo-shaped kneeler and ashlar coping are present on the right side. There are corniced ashlar stacks located between the third and fourth bays and at the ends, with the left stack having been formerly external but now encased in a later farmbuilding that has been converted into a cottage, which is not of special interest.
Inside, the ground-floor doors are made of six fielded panels. The ground-floor room to the right has an altered fireplace with a salt box and a shell-niche cupboard. The first-floor doors are four fielded panels, including one that provides access to a narrow flight of steps leading up to the roof space, which is formed in the tapering side of the central chimney stack.
