House Now Outbuilding At High Foxup

The building, originally a house and now serving as a sheep shelter, dates back to 1673 with some alterations from the 18th century. It is constructed of gritstone rubble and features a graduated stone slate roof. The structure is 1½ storeys tall and consists of three bays, with a central outshut porch.

On the right side of the porch, there is a blocked door with quoined jambs and a large lintel that has a recessed panel with raised lettering stating "T.M.A.E, 1673". An inserted doorway is located on the front wall of the porch, along with another doorway in the third bay. Throughout the building, there are recessed chamfered mullion windows; the ground floor of bay 1 originally had four lights but two mullions have been removed, while the first floor has three lights with one mullion removed. There is a fire window on the far left without a dressed stone surround, and bay 3 features a blocked window that originally had two or more lights, with the right jamb destroyed by the inserted doorway, and a two-light window above it, with the mullion removed.

At the rear, there is a semicircular stair turret in the center, which has a pierced stone circular window. There are also three narrow low chamfered windows, two to the left and one to the right of the stair turret.

Inside, the position of the door may be original, located in a sheltered angle rather than on the porch front, which would have required a gabled porch, suggesting that the porch may have been added later. The main living room was at the left end, where the bressumer remains, underbuilt with a smaller stone fireplace. The firebay is lit by the small fire-windows at the front and back. However, a detailed examination of the interior could not be conducted due to the building's dangerous condition. The rear wall showcases a rare example of unaltered 17th-century fenestration, kept minimal on the cold side of the house. The circular window illuminates the stone newel staircase at step level. At the time of the resurvey, the building was in a derelict state.
