Description

Upper House Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, with an added porch that features an inscribed lintel reading "1 7 1 6 I M E," believed to refer to John Manly Eastwood. The building is constructed of large dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. It has a two-room plan with a rear aisle that originally had an entry, which is now a gable entry.

The two-storey south front includes a plinth and double chamfered mullioned windows, with four lights and ten lights on the ground floor, both of which have a stepped hoodmould that runs continuously over them. The first floor features chamfered mullioned windows with three lights and one window with four lights, which has a lowered sill that now forms two wide lights. The right-hand return wall has two chamfered mullioned windows with two lights on the first floor.

At the rear, there is a single-storey outshut beneath a cat-slide roof, which has a chamfered mullioned window with two lights to the left of a stop-chamfered doorway that has been reduced to a window. The left-hand return wall has a two-light double chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor, while the first floor has two inserted windows with an earlier single-storey roofline between them.

The wide single-storey gabled porch features a 19th-century doorway with tie-stones and a large window with plain stone surrounds. Above the door is the inscribed lintel, and there is a stack at the apex for a beehive oven located inside the porch, which is an unusual position. Additionally, there is one stack on the south gable.
