Description
High Ground Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with origins in the early 18th century and some 20th-century alterations. The building features a pebbledash exterior with painted stone dressings and a slate roof. It has a three-cell plan and stands two storeys high with three bays.
The left-hand entrance has a chamfered surround and a plank door with a glazed panel. The entrance to the right of centre has a plain surround and a slate porch with moulded sides and a gabled hood, featuring a door from around 1980. There are three ground floor windows: a left-hand chamfered three-light flat-faced mullioned window and two three-light flat-faced mullioned windows. On the upper floor, there is a single-light window on the left, a two-light window with a broad flat-faced mullion to the left of centre, and a three-light flat-faced mullioned window on the right. All windows have 20th-century casements. The farmhouse has gable-end and left of centre ridge stacks. At the rear, there are remains of a blocked round-headed staircase window and a left-hand two-light recessed flat-faced mullioned pantry window.
