Description
Upper House is a house dating from the 14th century, with some alterations from the 17th century. It is clad in stone from the 18th century, with additional early 19th century and late 20th century modifications. The building features a timber frame covered in stone, mostly roughcast, and has a slate roof. It is designed in an H-plan with the hall aligned north to south. There is a screens passage at the north end of the hall, and a wing that was rebuilt in the 17th century, which includes a spere truss in the lower of its two bays. The solar cross-wing retains some remnants of 14th-century work.
On the east front, the left-hand cross-wing is flush while the other projects. Both cross-wings are two storeys high and have one window each; the left features a 16-pane sash window, and the right has a 20th-century top-hung casement. The hall range is one storey with an attic, lit by two gabled dormers and has two 16-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The entrance, located to the left of centre, has a gabled 19th-century porch with a half-glazed door. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a base cruck in the centre of the hall with a tenoned arcade plate. The upper roof is simply constructed with a collar above the cambered tie-beam, and the spere truss is of aisled form with arch braces to the tie-beam. This building is considered a relatively plain example of its type.
