Description
Upper Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th century or earlier, with additions and alterations made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is timber-framed and weatherboarded, except for the left half of the ground floor, which has been rebuilt in painted brick. There is a narrow addition to the right end made of stone with brick dressings on the ground floor and red brick in Flemish bond on the first floor. The roof is covered in plain tiles and features two storeys and an attic on a brick plinth, with a hipped roof to the left. The right end has a large gablet above the hip of the lower roof of the stone addition, and the right hip returns. A multiple brick ridge stack is located towards the left end. The fenestration is irregular, with four leaded casements on the weatherboarded section. There is a panelled door beneath the stack, framed by fluted pilasters and topped with a broad flat bracketed hood. The right return wing has a stone ground floor with chequered red and grey brick, a plain tile roof, two storeys, a dentilled brick eaves cornice, a hipped roof, and three small casement windows. The interior has not been inspected.
