High Fawes

High Fawes is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It has been altered and refurbished in the 1970s. The building is constructed of roughly coursed mixed rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has an L-plan layout, consisting of a single-depth, two-unit main range oriented on a south-west to north-east axis, facing south-east, with a short rear wing to the left.

The exterior has two storeys and currently features five windows, although it likely had three originally. The ground floor includes a single-storey gabled porch at the center, which has a square-headed doorway beneath a large monolith lintel and a stone slate roof. The left side of the porch is made of two massive slabs. There are two former two-light mullioned windows on each side of the porch, all with chamfered surrounds, although they now have plastic double glazing. The first floor has one similar window to the left and two to the right, along with two small inserted windows with similar glazing—one at the left end and another above the left side of the porch. The gable chimneys are present, with the left one being corbelled.

On the left side, there is a continuous stone slate drip-course over the ground floor, an inserted square window at the ground floor of the gable wall, and a much enlarged oblong window on each floor of the wing, all featuring similar plastic glazing. To the rear, there is a roughcast side wall of a 19th-century barn, which is not included in this listing. The interior has been radically modernised.
