Description
Uplands Farmhouse is a house that has been converted into apartments, along with a range of former outbuildings that were stables and a dovecote, which were also converted into two dwellings in 1999. The building dates from the mid to late 18th century, with some casements renewed in the 19th century. It features a red and buff brick plinth that is partly rendered. The main block has a hipped roof, mostly covered in Swithland slates, although the right side has 20th-century interlocking tiles. The outbuildings have tiled roofs. The farmhouse is L-shaped, with a staircase projection at the rear.
The house has three storeys and a cellar, with a front that has four bays. It includes moulded brick band courses and eaves. The late 19th-century wooden casements have horizontal glazing bars and original gauged heads; the ground and first-floor windows are cross casements, while the second-floor windows are of two lights. The six-panelled door in the second bay features a marginally-glazed fanlight and a wooden doorcase with pilasters and a flat cornice hood on moulded brackets. This door is accessed by six brick and stone steps with a slight wrought iron handrail. There is a cellar window with a metal grille to the right, and brick chimneys with three square shafts linked by offset cornices. The rear wing has horizontal sash windows.
Attached to the rear is a two-storey wing with six bays that is now part of the house, featuring horizontal sashes on the first floor and right bays, along with two doors and three stable doors that have adjacent round pitching eyes. At the far end of this wing is a taller dovecote with a stable door.
Inside the house, there is a staircase with wavy splat balusters and a moulded handrail. The room on the ground floor to the left is panelled and has moulded ceiling cornices, as well as narrow pulvinated friezes around the door and fireplace surrounds, which may date from the late 19th to early 20th century. There is a heavy stop-chamfered spine beam and a large fireplace in the ground floor room at the rear, with one fireplace lintel dated 1647.
