Description
High House Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with later alterations. It features slobbered rubble walls with a plinth and a graduated slate roof topped with a stone ridge. The main house has two end chimney stacks, each with oval shafts, and a rear extension that includes a chimney with a circular shaft. The layout likely started as a two-room plan, with extensions added at a lower level to the south and at right angles to the west. The building is two storeys high and has three 19th-century horizontal sliding windows and one 19th-century sash window on the ground floor. There is a boarded door in the extension on the left and a 20th-century door to the main house. The upper floor has one horizontal sliding window and three casement windows. Inside, there are 17th-century beams and a fire beam, a circular oak staircase with an oak newel and moulded balusters, 17th-century panelling and doors along the landing, and a spice cupboard with the initials TWE and the date 1666.
