The entrance hall has a timber fire surround with a carved overmantle depicting the arms of the Bertie family, set in an egg and tongue coved arch. There is also an opencut ornate staircase, and two bridging beams with tongue stops in kitchen. The upper floor and roof were destroyed by fire in March 1990, but restored before 1994.

Map

High House has a stone let into the wall above the door - 'Allen, Wm C, 1753' - O. G. S. Crawford (note by R. R. Clarke NCM).
This seems to be correct although the stone is now almost too weathered to read. It is in fact in the parapet of a two storeyed three bay house of red brick, dormers behind the parapet, typical of the period. Central classical doorcase. ?Older, low wing to east.
