Description

Upper Bottomley Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of thin coursed rubble with rough dressed quoins. The building features a double-pile range beneath a two-span roof. The windows are thin flat faced mullioned types with overlapping lintels and sills. On the north-east front, there are two gable windows, one with four lights and the other with three lights, both mirrored on the first floor. Quoins indicate that the left-hand gable is slightly older. To the right of the quoins is a doorway with monolithic jambs. The left-hand return wall has a single-storey outshut with a five-light window, while the main range set back has two-light and former five-light windows. Similar windows can be found at the rear and on the right-hand return wall. The house has two stacks at the ridge.
