Description

Highclere is a mid-19th century, two-storey house made of yellow brick with ashlar dressings, situated in its own garden above the road on South Street. The house features a hipped slate roof with ridge cresting. There is a band above the first-floor windows, which are three in total, each with architrave surrounds; the ground floor windows have curved heads. The windows are sashes with marginal glazing bars. The central doorway has a curved head and a large drip mould, with a traceried fanlight above and double doors.
