Upper House And Attached Outbuildings

Upper House and attached outbuildings is a farmhouse, hop kiln, and byre, likely built in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, with later alterations. The structure features a timber frame with brick nogging and weatherboards, along with sandstone rubble. The roofs are made of tile, Welsh slate, and corrugated iron. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with the house forming the first arm and the byre the last, connected by a 19th-century hop kiln.

The building is two storeys high. The west elevation has the house in the center and to the right, with a gable front at the far right. The house features a three-light glazing bar casement in a dormer at the center and four contemporary casements in the gable front. The ground floor has similar casements, with three entries: a ledged door to the left and center, and a glazed door at the gable front. There is a truncated side stack to the left. The frame consists of two to three and a half square panels high, situated between and above brick underpinning.

To the left of the house is a framed motion that has been converted into a garage, which connects to the hipped-roofed hop kiln with sandstone rubble walls. The byre, attached to the east of the hop kiln, has a sandstone rubble first floor and a weatherboarded timber frame on the left, comprising four structural bays. The south elevation features two openings for a toilet and five ground-level entries, most of which have ledged doors. The frame here is two square panels high from sandstone to wall-plate.

Inside the house, there is a fireplace in the southern principal room with chamfered stone jambs and an oak lintel. The north end of the main range has cusped wind-braces that may have been reused. The byre includes queen strut trusses with V-struts above the collars, and one gable displays a lozenge pattern with scissor struts.
