This fine example of a yeoman clothiers house was built in the second half of the C16 with early C17 new front to west wing. The rear kitchen wing which was rebuilt early C19. It has a five light chamfered mullioned window with arched lights.
The timber framed and stone-clad Cliffe Hill barn probably dates to the early 17th century with late 18th century alterations. The archway is circa 1700, and the farmhouse has a date stone “INMN 1601”.
This once was Higher School Land but after 1920's at least it was known as Higher Colden. The Barn is now a separate dwelling. For details of the sale in the mid 1920's see WYAC Miss 383/16
