Description
Uphamton Farmhouse is a Grade II listed farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and roughcast timber-frame, featuring multi-gabled two-span slate roofs and a prominent 17th-century brick stack at the center of the valley, which has blind round-headed arcaded panels and overhanging cap courses. The building consists of two parallel ranges aligned northeast to southwest; the northernmost range has four bays, an external rubble chimney, and a rebuilt detached stack at the southwest end, while the southernmost range has three bays.
The farmhouse is two storeys tall, with an attic and cellar. The framing includes a jettied first floor on the south elevation, supported by a moulded bressummer, with the gabled attic storeys above the left and central bays also jettied. The main south elevation features three gabled bays from the southernmost range, with moulded bargeboards and pendant finials. There are two 19th-century cellar windows and a ledged and battened cellar door. The ground floor, elevated due to the site's incline, includes a three-light 19th-century casement window, a 17th-century window with four lights and ogee mullions, and a central ledged and battened door with a moulded architrave, which was once accessed by a flight of stone steps. On the first floor, there are two 19th-century three-light windows and a similar 17th-century window as seen on the ground floor. The gables also contain shuttered square openings.
At the rear, the main entrance features a flat canopy on metal uprights and a 20th-century door. The rear elevation includes two similar 17th-century windows and six original windows at the northeast end. Inside, the farmhouse retains some exposed ceiling beams, large fireplaces associated with the central chimney, and part of the original staircase, which has panelled square newels with shaped finials.
