Description
Upper House Farmhouse and the adjoining granary date from around 1760, with some alterations made in the mid-19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and blue brick detailing, featuring two types of roofs: slate and plain tiled, along with brick stacks. It has three storeys and a cellar, with a three-course band at the first floor level at the rear, where the second course consists of blue brick headers, and a cogged eaves level course at the east gable end of the rear range. The building has three bays, with windows that include ashlar sills and rusticated wedge lintels. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows, while the second floor has six-pane sashes. The central entrance is topped by a flat canopy supported by moulded timber brackets and features a six-panelled door, four of which are glazed, along with a transom light that has three glazing bars.
The granary is located at the left end of the farmhouse. It is built of brick and has a plain tiled roof with a parapet and kneelers at its gable end. The granary has two levels and two bays. The south elevation features two ground floor four-pane sash windows with cambered heads, two upper level windows, and a central entrance with a cambered head and a ledged and battened door. An external staircase leads to a loft door on the north elevation.
