Description
High Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 'BQ 1879', located in Barrow in Furness. It is constructed from limestone and slate rubble with red sandstone dressings and features a graduated slate roof. The building has two storeys and three windows on the first floor. The rock-faced quoins add to its character. A boarded door, positioned to the right of center, has a quoined surround, a Tudor-arched lintel, and a datestone beneath a stepped hoodmould. To the left of the door is a three-light window with a flush sill, chamfered mullions, and quoined surrounds, featuring tall four-pane sashes under a hoodmould. There are two-light windows to the right of the door and on the first floor, all in the same style. The verges overhang with bargeboards, and there are quoined stacks at the ends. At the rear, a two-storey porch incorporates a reset lintel inscribed '1643 rebuilt 1873', but no other 17th-century fabric remains.
