Description

Upper Harveys is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It features a timber frame with plaster and peg tile roofs. The building is two storeys high and has an 'L' shaped plan, with large two-storey 20th-century extensions at the rear that connect to 19th-century outbuildings. The roof is hipped with a gablet at the east end and hipped at the west, returning to form the ridge of the crosswing. The front has a 19th-century casement window with single horizontal glazing bars and an off-centre oak entrance door with an oak surround. There is an off-centre square brick stack from the 19th century and a smaller stack on the west crosswing. The 16th-century parlour crosswing features jowled posts and a cambered tie beam. The main block, rebuilt in the mid-17th century, was originally an open hall and includes an inglenook stack that is partly made of clay.
