Description
Upper House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The roof has a verge to the east and a half-hipped projecting wing to the north, with a side stack that has a brick shaft on the south side. The building is L-shaped, with the main range oriented east to west and a former granary wing projecting to the north at the west end. It has a cellar, two storeys, and attics.
The north elevation includes three windows with cross-casements, which are probably original, set under dressed voussoirs. There is a central early 20th-century door beneath a contemporary porch. The projecting granary section to the right features tallet stairs leading up to a ledged door, which may be from the 18th century, above which is a gable door. Attached to the right side is a single-storey early 19th-century extension that is un-fenestrated. The west elevation of the projecting granary wing has a 2-light mullioned window on the ground floor, while the 19th-century extension has two ventilation slits.
Inside the house, there are simple collars above the tie-beams, and the projecting wing has V-struts extending from the ties to the principals.
