Description

Higher Wick Farmhouse is a 17th-century building with later additions. It has one storey plus an attic on the left side and two storeys on the right. The left section features ashlar stone and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end. In the middle, there is a small gablet with a saddle-stone, and a three-light stone mullioned window with a hoodmould. The ground floor has one wooden casement window with three lights and a smaller window to the left. There is a doorway beneath a wooden porch with a pitched slate roof, leading to a five-panel door. The right side has a higher elevation with a pantile roof, gable-end parapets with kneelers, and two first-floor windows under segmental heads with ashlar keystones, one of which is dated 1792. The ground floor features a pair of windows under wooden lintels, which are sashes with glazing bars. Adjoining to the right is a two-storey building that includes some ashlar, a slate roof, and arched window and door openings.
