Description

Upper Wood Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with a brick front added in the 19th century, while still retaining its jetty. It features a timber frame resting on a chamfered brick sill, which is exposed on the first floor at the rear. The front is cased in red brick, with attached timbers that create a pseudo framing effect, and it has a steep old red tile roof.

The house is two stories tall and consists of four structural bays, with a side jetty and lateral rear chimneys, facing east. The front has four windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor, with a door located in a small brick projection in the second bay from the north. The windows are 19th-century flush 3-light casements. At the rear, the exposed framing shows close-studding, and there is a blocked 3-light mullioned window. Additionally, there are two original large red brick projecting chimney stacks located at the rear of the first and second bays from the south.
