Description

High Leaze Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of cut and squared ham stone, with some coursed rubble and ashlar dressings, and features a thatched roof between coped gables, along with stone chimney stacks that have moulded caps. The building has an L-plan layout, is two storeys high with attics, and consists of three bays.

The windows are hollow chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses with labels; there are three-light windows above and in the lower bay one, and a four-light window in the lower bay three. In the lower bay two, there is a two-light window next to a plain doorway, which is set in a timber trellis and has a hipped porch with a plain clay tiled roof. There is also a single storey extension with a hipped thatched roof on the west gable, which includes a projecting chimney stack with offsets.

On the east gable, there is an angled bay window with one plus three plus one lights under a hipped stone slate roof, and above it, a two-light mullioned window without a label. In the attic, there is a blocked oculus window. The rear extension has two bays, featuring a three-light mullioned window in the upper bay one and a four-light window in the lower bay two, along with a two-light casement in the upper bay two. The lower bay one has a cambered arched doorway that is now blocked, with a window inserted. There is also a mostly single storey thatched extension to the north.

The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to likely have a three-room cross passage plan, with chamfered beams, two fireplaces with timber bressumers, and one with a cambered-arched surround. There is a stone staircase leading from the kitchen in the north wing, and a tie beam and collar roof truss.
