Description
Highcroft Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse built of random rubble with dressed quoins. It features two gables on the front, each with coped verges and onion finials, and a parapet with coping between them. The building has two rubble stacks capped with dressed stone and a concrete tile roof. It is two storeys high with a symmetrical arrangement of three bays, with the outer bays slightly set forward. The first floor has 2-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows, while the ground floor has similar 3-light openings, all under stopped labels. There is a door opening on the left side with a 6-panelled door, where the top two panels are glazed, and a 20th-century gabled rendered porch with a slate roof. The farmhouse has landscape value.
