Description

High Haume Farmhouse and attached barn is a farmhouse with an adjoining barn, originating from the early 18th century and altered in the 19th century. The structure is built from limestone and slate rubble, with the house primarily covered in cement render and a graduated slate roof. The building features an elongated range with a single-storey side wing to the left. The house itself is two storeys with an attic and has two windows on the first floor. The barn, which is under the same roof, consists of three bays and one bay.

The house has an altered front with steps leading up to a gabled porch, which is flanked by 20th-century casement windows on both floors. There is a truncated end stack on the left and a stack on the front slope to the right of the doorway. The barn includes a central lean-to with a window and door on the right return. To the left of this lean-to is a quoined doorway for a cow house, while to the right is a waggon entrance (with the ramp removed) that has boarded doors beneath a wooden lintel and a segmental arch, all covered by a corrugated sheet canopy on the projecting side wall. There is also a door on the right and small vent holes in the upper wall.

At the rear, the house features a 16-pane casement window for the stair, flanked by casements with glazing bars on the ground floor, sash windows on the first floor, and small casements in the attic. The side wing on the right has a horizontal-sliding sash window to the left and a 6-pane sash beneath the gable. The limestone stack has been heightened with brick. The barn has an opposed waggon entrance within a projection and stone steps leading to a first-floor door on the left. Inside, a curved wall near the current staircase suggests the location of a former spiral stair.
