Description
Ufford House is a house dating from the 17th or 18th century, with a late 18th or early 19th-century addition. It is timber framed, covered in colourwashed render, and has a plaintile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic.
The entrance front features the 17th-century section on the right, which consists of four bays. On the ground floor, there is an early 19th-century front door with four lower raised and fielded panels and two upper glazed panels. To the far right, there is a similar front door with a 19th-century porch that has thin fluted columns with acanthus leaf capitals and a pedimental gable. To the right of this porch is a cross window, and to the left is a three-light casement window. Left of centre, there is a 20th-century window with seven lights made up of glazed panels set between the studs. The first floor has four two-light windows of varying sizes, and the attic features two 19th-century gabled dormer windows, each with two lights.
The late 18th or early 19th-century extension on the left has two bays and features 19th-century horned sash windows on the ground floor with three panes by four panes, and two two-light casement windows on the first floor with four-centered heads. The ridge height of this addition matches that of the right side, although its roof has a shallower pitch. The 17th-century section has an axial ridge stack towards the left of centre with three flues and an attached flue on the right. Inside, the ground floor displays chamfered beams and joists.
