Nun Upton

Nun Upton is a house dating from the early 17th century, with some brick cladding added in the late 17th century and restoration in the early 20th century. It features a timber frame with rendered infill on a coursed rubble plinth, partially clad in brick. The building has a T-plan layout, with a cross-wing aligned east to west and another range to the north.

At the junction of the two sections, there is a main stack with three brick shafts; the outer two are rusticated while the inner one is panelled. Another stack is located on the east wall of the north range and has two diamond-shaped brick shafts. The west front is constructed of brick and has two storeys with attics. The cross-wing on the right has a curvilinear gable that contains a three-light casement window, topped with a dentilled brick cornice. The first floor features a four-light casement window with a brick drip moulding, while the ground floor has a moulded brick string course and a two-light casement window.

The left range also has two storeys with an attic, which is lit by a two-light casement window in a gable positioned to the left of centre. To the right of centre, there is a two-storey porch with a shaped gable. The building has a total of two plus one plus one windows, all with three lights, except for the porch which has a two-light window. The ground floor features a moulded string course, and the entrance is located on the left side of the porch, framed by a semi-circular arch.

The timber framing is exposed only on the east elevation, where it is close-studded with a mid-rail. The first floor window here has four lights, with ovolo moulded mullions and a moulded sill supported by brackets. The timber-framed porch was largely rebuilt in the early 20th century. Inside, the south room of the cross-wing retains remnants of a plaster ceiling with moulded panels that enclose bands of running foliage and fruit ornament.
