Higher North Harton Farmhouse (now Cottages Nos. 1 and 2).
Pair of cottages, formerly a farmhouse. 17th or early 18th century. Granite rubble with concrete-tiled roof. Two granite ashlar chimneystacks on ridge, one in right-hand gable, one off-centre to left (probably on gable of original cottage). Older, right-hand cottage has central entrance-passage with room at either side.
Two storeys. Four-window front, the left-hand window in each storey set in what appears to be a later addition. Ground-storey windows in older part have segmental arches. Right-hand window in each storey and second window from right in second storey are early 18th century wood casements with moulded mullions and leaded panes. Other windows have small-paned wood casements, except for third window from right which has a 20th century metal-framed window. Plank door with applied ribs.
Interior has chamfered upper-floor beam in left-hand room. Some early 18th century panelled doors upstairs. Roof rebuilt 20th century, leaving plain feet of principal rafters in second-storey rooms.
