Description

Upper House Farmhouse is a timber-framed farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, with possible origins in an earlier structure. It was expanded in the 18th century and subsequently altered in the 20th century. The construction combines timber framing with wattle-and-daub and painted brick infill, with later brick additions to the rear. The building is set upon a sandstone rubble plinth and features a hipped Welsh slate roof. The layout is L-shaped, comprising an original north/south wing, a later addition to the north, and a further wing extending to the east from the south end. An axial stack and the main entrance face south. The farmhouse has two storeys and attics. The south front showcases multi-paned metal casement windows, two on the left and similarly sized windows to the right. The ground floor features three multi-paned metal casement windows, alongside a four-light window on the left and a three-light window to the right of a doorway with a six-panelled door, accessed via an open porch. Internally, chamfered ceiling beams are retained, evidence of the original structure.
