Description
Upper House is a house dating from around 1800, with a 17th-century cottage attached to the west side. The main house is constructed of red brick with limestone ashlar dressings, and a plinth of blue lias rubble. It has a low-pitched slate roof with a front parapet, coped gables, and end wall stacks. The front facade features a three-window range of glazing bar sashes with cambered heads and stone keystones. A brick band runs above the first floor, and the quoins are flush ashlar. The entrance is a six-panel door, with a projecting porch supported by octagonal piers. A two-storey building of blue lias stone is attached to the east side, with a plait tile roof that extends down the rear of the main house as an outshut.
The attached cottage to the west is built of blue lias stone and is one storey and attic in height, with a steep gabled roof covered in modern plain tiles. It has gable ends facing north and south, with its west gable facing the street. A west end wall stack is present. Features include a small leaded window on the first floor and a small modern window in the west gable. The south gable end is rendered and may incorporate timber framing. A county fire plaque is affixed to the west gable.
