Included within the curtilage of the listing are a range of coursed rubble farm buildings to the rear of the house, including barns, stables, cart sheds and milking parlour. Some of these buildings have been converted to residential use. {3}
The outbuildings associated with 65 High Street were surveyed and mostly date to the mid nineteenth century. There was a threshing barn at the north of the site. A lean to was added to this building and used as an implement shed. A further implement shed was attached to this building at a later date. A cattle shed, loose box, former stable, pig sty, cartshed and more recent milking parlour were also identified. This farm was left in Sir Edward Clarke's will in 1701 to a charity. The 1826 enclosure plan showed that there were only three buildings at this date. The former stable, possibly a field barn originally, is the earliest building dating to the latr eighteenth or early nineteenth century. The present layout of the farmstead had been established by 1863. {4}{5}
Unnamed farmstead, Heighington. Partially extant 18th century farmstead. Regular courtyard with L-plan range plus detached buildings to the third side of the yard. The farmhouse is detached from the main working complex. There has been significant loss (greater than 50%) of traditional buildings. Located within or in association with a village. {6}
