Description

Upper House Farm Cottage and Upper House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two houses. It dates from the 19th century and features roughcast over a 17th-century timber frame. The building has a plain tile roof with a central gable, which is flanked by large gabled dormers. There is a rubble ridge stack with a brick chimney, as well as a rubble buttress stack with a brick chimney on the right side.

The exterior is single-storey with an attic. The entrance is located to the centre right and consists of a 19th-century half-glazed panelled door set within a simple 20th-century open porch. To the left of the entrance is a 19th-century three-light casement window, with a similar casement in the gable. To the right, there are 19th-century two-light casements on the ground floor and in the dormer. There is also a recessed bay to the left with a plank door under a simple 20th-century open porch, and two-light casements on the ground floor and in the jettied dormer. The left side of the building reveals the 17th-century timber frame with brick infill. At the rear, there is a rubble lean-to beneath a catslide roof. The interior has not been inspected.
