Description
High Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse located in Great Blencow. It features painted roughcast walls with a stone eaves cornice, topped by a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with a single-bay, two-storey extension at the rear that creates an overall L-shape. The windows include two-light flat stone-mullioned windows, with a three-light window on the left and a four-light window on the right. The right side of the building has a six-panel door set in an alternate-block surround with a keyed lintel. The extension has large three-light stone-mullioned windows. The adjoining barns have been altered and are not of interest. The property is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as High Farm, but it is also known as Manor Farm and was previously called Great Blencow Farm.
