Description
Upper Eldon Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with an 18th-century encasement. It has a timber-frame core that is encased in coursed flint with brick dressings. The building is three bays wide and two stories tall, featuring a wing at the rear on the left and small hipped one-bay wings at the rear of the other bays. The front of the farmhouse has a central planked door, with a 20th-century three-light casement window on each side. There is a timber beam on the first floor beneath lead flashing, and above the door, there is a two-light casement window, with three-light casement windows on each side. The roof is hipped, with a central ridge stack and a stack on the left hip. Inside, there are features from the 17th and 18th centuries, including a 17th-century plaster overmantle with a coat of arms in the room to the left of the center on the first floor.
