Upper House Farmhouse

Upper House Farmhouse is a 17th-century manor house, originally built around 1400 and altered in the 16th and 18th centuries. It features a timber frame with plastered walls and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a hall range consisting of three bays that runs approximately northeast to southwest, with a three-bay crosswing extending to the southeast, creating an L-shaped plan. There are two axial chimney stacks in the hall range and one in the crosswing. A 16th-century two-bay extension is located to the northwest of the crosswing, and there is a single-storey extension to the northwest of the southwest end, which is weatherboarded and has a roof of red clay corrugated tiles from the 19th century. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof situated between the two northwest wings, facing southeast.

The original crosswing features jetties on the northeast, southeast, and southwest sides, supported by heavy plain brackets, wide joists, dragon beams, and corner posts with moulded bands. The 16th-century northwest extension has a jetty only on the northwest side, with narrow plain brackets. The upper floor of the original crosswing includes one late 16th-century inserted window above each jetty, each featuring an ovolo-moulded mullion and jambs, along with two diamond stiffening bars and modern glass. All other windows and doors are from the 20th century.

The hall range has an inserted floor with plain chamfered axial beams that have lamb's tongue stops (partly boxed in) and pegged clamps, dating to the late 16th century. The walls have been raised approximately 1.5 meters, and the roof was rebuilt in the 18th century. The crosswing displays trait-de-Jupiter scarfs in both wallplates and short wide curved braces to cambered tiebeams. Originally, the crosswing roof was constructed with crownposts but was later ceiled and rebuilt in clasped purlin form in the late 16th century. At the junction of the hall range and crosswing, there are three arched doorheads, all embellished in the 18th or 19th century; two of these may be original, while one is a reproduction.
