Upper Assendon Farmhouse

Upper Assendon Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 16th century. The front is rendered over jettied timber framing, while the sides and rear show square framing with brick infill. The front right gable wall has been rebuilt in flint rubble with brick crossbanding. The roof is gabled and covered with old tiles, featuring 18th-century brick stacks on the left gable end and rear left, along with a 16th-century external stack made of flint and brick, finished in brick. The building is L-shaped with a cross-wing to the right and has two storeys with a four-window range. The entrance features an 18th-century six-panelled door and a 20th-century porch. Most windows are 20th-century casements, except for an early to mid-19th-century three-light casement to the left of the porch and a three-light horizontal sliding sash at the rear. To the left, there is an 18th-century flint and brick outshut with an old tile roof, and an 18th-century brick outshut with an old tile roof at the rear. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered and stopped beams, and a queen-post roof with clasped purlins.
