Description
Upper Norchard Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and restoration in the late 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with rendered infill and painted brick, topped with a machine tile roof. The west front has one storey with an attic, which is illuminated by a casement window in the gabled central projecting wing. The arrangement of windows includes two single-light windows to the left, two-light windows in the wing, and three-light casements to the right. There are two entrances: the left entrance, located between two windows, has a 20th-century wooden architrave and a 20th-century panelled door, while the right corner entrance has similar details. The framing consists of three rectangular panels high with straight tension braces. The gable features two struts to the collar and intersecting raking struts in the apex.
