Full Description
High Green House dates to the 18th century, remodelled early 19th century, 17th century rear range.
Timber framed, now faced in brick, pantile roof, 16-pane sashes.
Gable stacks.
Platband on left gable once returned onto end bay of façade.
Interior 19th century.
See (S1).
(S2) takes this together with the Homelands stating that the two were once one unit.
Used as farmhouse before 1920 but at the same time was used as a girls' boarding school from 1836 and most of the outshuts are for this purpose.
Altered windows in façade.
Probably originally an L plan house to which a wing was added and later given a Georgian front.
The platband mentioned by (S1) as being on the gable and return might possibly suggest this gable wall was added to a timber frame.
E. Rose (NLA), 9 May 2005.
