Description

Upper Paradise Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century, with a late 19th-century extension. The building features a sandstone rubble plinth and a timber-frame structure topped with a slate roof and a central stack. The brick extension, added in the 19th century, has an end stack to the west. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with four windows on the three-bay 17th-century section and two on the 19th-century part, aligned roughly east to west.

On the south elevation, the 17th-century section has 3- and 2-light 19th-century casements, with the left ground floor window featuring plank weathering. There is a 19th-century ledged door beneath a flat canopy. The 19th-century section includes 9-pane glazing bar sashes on the first floor, a canted bay window to the left on the ground floor, and a canopied porch with a late 19th-century panelled door. The timber frame generally consists of four panels high, except on the eastern part of the south side where the rubble plinth extends, reducing the frame to two panels.
