The building is now plastered internally and used as a community hall. <1> April 2014. Heritage assessment. A Napoleonic War Era timber framed five-bay barn with central midstrey and porch. It was built in around 1800 from reused pitsawn timbers, with nailed interrupted studwork and hanging knees fixed with wrought iron bolts. The building retains its frame, original plinth and the roof over the midstrey otherwise it has undergone at least two heavy renovations altering the roof and adding outshots. The original large doors have been lost and all the others are later additions. The OS maps indicate that outshots either side of the porch appeared between 1897 and 1923. Further historic mapping shows the kitchen and servery appeared by 1973 by which time the farm was called High House Fruit Farm. The barn was being used as a meeting house, notably for the local hunt group. While the WC is not shown it must have been added shortly afterwards to ensure the comfort of the guests. The walls in the midstrey, most of the windows and the ceilings would have been put in as part of the refurbishments and the roof repaired. The South shelter has been completely replaced quite recently. The building is the last remnant of the Victorian High Farm, the rest of which was removed between 1876 and 1897. <2> See photo <3>.
