Description
Upper West End Farm is a house dating from the early 17th century. It has two bays and is constructed with a timber frame, featuring a lobby entry plan. A brick dated 1608 was discovered when the house was extended by one bay on the right in 1917. The exterior is roughcast, and it has a steeply pitched plain tile roof. A square ridge chimney stack with joined shafts is located at the left center. The house has four early 20th-century glazing bar casements and chamfer-stopped floor beams on either side of a blocked inglenook. There is a lean-to rear outshut from the 18th or 19th century with a catslide roof. Additionally, there is a single-storey weatherboarded outbuilding on the left.
