Upper Goat House

Upper Goat House is a house, likely built in the late 16th century, with a porch added in 1624. There is also a late 19th-century extension to the west, which is not included in the listing, and a mid-20th-century alteration to the east. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, mostly rendered, with an ashlar porch and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and a south front divided into five sections.

The first section is a late 17th-century single-cell extension featuring an altered double chamfered mullioned window with an inserted doorway that has monolithic jambs. Above this is a four-light window. The next two sections belong to the main late 16th-century through-passage house, which projects forward under two gabled roofs with coped gables and kneelers. Each of these sections has a double chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor, complete with hoodmoulds that have straight returns. The second section has a five-light window and a four-light window with chamfered mullions on the first floor, along with an inserted doorway with monolithic jambs.

The third section features a gabled cross-wing with finials, a six-light window, and a two-light fire-window to the housebody, which retains its bressumer and heck-post. There is also a five-light window on the first floor. The fourth section consists of a two-storey ungabled porch with a Tudor arched lintel and a richly moulded surround, featuring shields in the spandrels. The inner doorway has a similar design with a simple chamfered surround. The upper floor slightly jetties out, supported by moulded stone corbels, and includes a two-light chamfered mullioned window with arch-headed lights and sunken spandrels. The fifth section, which is set back, is a mid-20th-century refronting of the service end, featuring modern double chamfered mullioned windows that are in keeping with the original style.

At the rear, there is a through-passage doorway with a straight lintel and chamfered surround, along with double chamfered mullioned windows. The house has two stacks on the ridge.
