High Bucker Farmhouse And Attached Barn And Former Stable Range

High Bucker Farmhouse, along with its attached barn and former stable range, dates from the mid-18th century for the house and stable range, while the barn was built in the late 18th to early 19th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed grey gritstone and topped with a graduated stone slate roof.

The farmhouse is two stories tall with two bays, and it features a one-bay former stable range on the right and a three-bay barn on the left. Notable architectural details include quoins, a board door to the right of the center in a plain stone surround, and similar surrounds for the flanking and first-floor three-light flat-faced mullion windows. The right bay has an enlarged cart entrance with a quoined left jamb; the right jamb and lintel have been rebuilt. The house also has bulbous kneelers and end stacks.

The barn has a central projecting cart porch with double board doors and quoined jambs for the byre door on the left. At the rear of the house, there are two-light flat-faced mullion windows on the ground floor right and two more on the first floor, along with a tall two-light stair window in the center. An added outshut to the left is not of special interest. The barn features a central winnowing door in a plain surround, with small loading doors on either side. The right return has external steps leading to a board door with quoined jambs and a high lintel.

Inside the barn, there are two pegged queen strut trusses and one bolted king-post truss. The interior of the house was not seen during the resurvey, but the position of the front door suggests that the entrance originally led directly into the front room. The quoins indicate that the barn was likely the first stone building, with the house and stable range added later. The barn is included for its group value with the other structures.
