Description
High Farm House is a house built in 1769, featuring iron ties to the gable end. It is constructed from pinkish-brown local brick, accented with stucco quoins and bands at the floor levels. The building has a modillion eaves cornice and a pantile roof, which includes end and ridge chimneys. It stands three storeys tall and has four bays. The entrance, located in the second bay from the right, is framed by a heavy 19th-century doorcase with brackets and a flat hood. The door itself is a six-panel design with a segment-arched fanlight above, and the reveals and soffit are panelled. The house has sash windows with glazing bars set in flush wood architraves, topped with decorative stucco lintels featuring keystones. The ground floor windows have cills. Inside, the staircase is notable for having two turned balusters per tread, a ramped handrail, and a curtail. The dado follows the line of the stair. Additionally, there is an 18th-century cupboard with shaped shelves in a round arched frame, supported by reeded pilasters, located in the ground floor room to the left of the entrance.
