Description
High Barn is a house dating from the late 18th century. It features a facade made of Ham stone ashlar, with local cut and squared stone used for the side extension and a brick west gable. The roof is covered with plain clay tiles and is set behind a parapet, with coped gables at either end. The building is three storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with two glazed panels and a rectangular fanlight above, sheltered by a 20th-century flat-roofed porch. The first and third bays have 16-pane sash windows, while the second bay has a 12-pane sash window, all at every level. A light cornice runs below the parapet. The east side extension is two storeys high with two bays and a plain tiled roof between coped gables, featuring 12-pane sash windows. The west gable includes a Victorian Gothic stone window. It is said that High Barn was part of a former brewery.
