Description

Upper Colders Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the early 18th century, with some alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed from thinly coursed rubble and has a rendered finish, with quoins at the corners. The stone slate roof features a central ashlar stack that was added later. The facade is nearly symmetrical, showcasing two 4-light double chamfered windows on the ground floor, each with two mullions removed. The first floor includes two 3-light windows and two 2-light windows. At the rear, there is an entrance within a wooden porch, along with a possible former central doorway that has been altered. Additionally, there is one 3-light double chamfered window on the first floor and another on the first floor of the east gable.
