Description

Higher Comeytrowe Farmhouse and the attached farm buildings date from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. The farm buildings were added in the mid-19th century. The farmhouse is rendered over rubble and cob, featuring a hipped slate roof on the left and a crosswing with a gabled end on the right. It has coped verges and brick stacks, with the gabled end located to the left of the cross passage and set in from the left end bay. The building has an L-shaped plan that lies in a north-east to south-west orientation, with a rear wing adjoining the farm buildings around a foldyard to the south-west.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with three bays on one side and one bay on the other, featuring 16-pane sash windows. The entrance has a single-storey porch with a slate roof, a cambered head, and a 20th-century plank door, located at the entrance to the crosswing on the right. The farm buildings are constructed of brick with local stone random rubble infill, topped with a double Roman tiled roof on the south gable end. The gables have loft openings, and there is a moulded brick cap on the stack at the south gable end. The buildings are single-storey with an attic loft above, featuring square-headed openings and ventilation slits in the gable ends.

It is suggested that the farmhouse may have been designed by John Watson, who also designed the model farm at Cutsey. Inside the farmhouse, there is a moulded beam in the rear wing, likely part of a compartment ceiling, which may have been reset from the house as it is otherwise featureless. Additionally, there are remains of two bays of a Ham stone quatrefoil frieze with Instruments of the Passion, which have been reset from an ecclesiastical building in the outbuilding.
