Description

Updown Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century and mid 19th century. It features a red brick structure with a plain tiled roof, along with an additional wing made of rubble and brown brick. The building consists of two parallel ranges, with the entry position reversed due to the addition of the current 19th-century entrance front.

The farmhouse has two storeys, with a brick gable on the right and a pedimented gable on the left, and stacks located on the right and the rear left. The first floor has four stone mullioned windows with 2, 3, and 1 light configurations, while the ground floor includes one mullion and transomed window. There is a 20th-century brick porch on the centre left, featuring a shaped gable, and a gabled extension on the right.

On the rear elevation, the original entry front of the 17th-century wing is visible, complete with a plinth and plat band raised above the ground floor windows. The roof is hipped to the left, with a pedimented gable on the right, which mirrors the stone gable of the 19th-century wing. The first floor has six cross windows, and the ground floor contains four segmentally headed glazing bar sashes.
