Description

Upper Farm Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, with a 20th-century extension. It features a timber frame with plaster and a thatched roof. The building has two normal bays aligned northwest-southeast and a short chimney bay to the northwest, which includes an axial chimney stack. There is a single-storey lean-to extension on the northwest side, connecting to a porch on the southwest of the chimney bay. The cottage is single-storey with attics.

On the southwest elevation, there is a 20th-century door, two 20th-century casement windows, and one small window, along with a 20th-century casement in a swept dormer. The roof is half-hipped at the southeast end. Inside, the cottage features jowled posts, heavy studding, chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and exposed plain joists of horizontal section supported on pegged clamps. There is a large wood-burning hearth with an aperture and door for a bread oven, although the oven itself has been demolished. The original front door was located to the northeast of the chimney stack but is now blocked.
