High Barth And Attached Barn

High Barth and the attached barn is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century, which was rebuilt in the early 19th century and has been altered. The building is constructed of roughly coursed thin sandstone rubble with dressed quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has a linear three-bay plan oriented on an east-west axis, facing south, with an almost continuous full-height rear outshut and the barn attached to the west end.

The exterior consists of two storeys and four windows. There is a plain square-headed doorway offset to the right, with a 2-light window above it featuring cusped lights, metal glazing bars, and a casement opening in the lower part of the left light. To the left, there are two 3-light windows on each floor, and one on each floor to the right. All windows have square-cut plain surrounds and flat-faced mullions, with similar glazing bars and casement openings in the centre lights. The building has a ridge chimney and gable chimneys, and the lower and earlier barn continues at the left end.

At the rear, there is an added lean-to porch at the west end of the outshut, with a 2-light window above it, similar to those at the front. The barn, built of large roughly-coursed rubble and also featuring a stone slate roof, has two low storeys. It includes an external flight of steps leading to a loft doorway in the centre, various square windows on both floors to the left, and a square-headed wagon doorway in the west gable, which has a massive monolithic lintel.

Inside, the west room contains a bakstone and a salt cupboard.
