Description
A unique development opportunity of a detached grade 2 listed farmhouse, former five bay barn, stonebuilt former cow shed and ancillary attached farm sheds in an elevated three acre setting with extensive south east to south west views of open countryside.
High Crompton Farmhouse is grade 2 listed under Historic England List Entry No. 1162897 as having special architectural or historic interest of seventeenth century origin with stone mullion windows and internal timber features. The farmhouse is detached and constructed of stone walls under dual pitch slate rooves.

The Former Five Bay Barn 60' x 30' is constructed of stone walls under a dual pitch stone slate roof but the southeast gable bay has collapsed and the adjoining bay has no roof slates.
