Uplands

Uplands is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with later additions and alterations. The external appearance is of roughcast timber-frame construction set upon a brick plinth, and the roof is covered with plain tiles to the front and machine tiles to the rear, with some slate also present. The building is arranged around a three-cell plan, with a lobby entrance.

The south front has two storeys and comprises three irregular bays. A 19th-century door is set within a doorcase featuring fluted pilaster strips and a hood. A 19th-century bay window is located to the right, and a single 18th-century sash window with 8/8 glazing bars is on the left. A 20th-century casement window is situated to the extreme right of the elevation. The first floor has three late 18th-century sash windows, characterised by exposed flush frames and 4/8 glazing bars. The roof is gabled and incorporates a rebuilt ridge stack.

The north front includes a 20th-century entrance leading to a brick outshut extension. At first floor level, a four-light diamond-mullioned window is situated to the left, alongside three metal casements and a 20th-century window. A flat-topped dormer window is also present.

The interior of the west ground-floor room features a segmental chamfered arch over the fireplace, and a spine beam with run-out stops. The middle room has a similar bridging beam, and the east room has a bridging beam with a solid arched brace. The roof structure comprises cambered collars and clasped purlins.
