The Upton Inn

The Upton Inn, dating from around 1710 and incorporating an earlier structure, is an 'L'-shaped building located on Brewery Hill in Upton Cheyney. The exterior features painted rubble on the east side and a large sandstone corner-stone on the south-west, with pantile roofs, coped verges, and moulded footstones. The building stands two storeys high with gable-lit attics and has two windows on the front, which are 3-light casements with moulded stone mullions and dripmoulds.

The central entrance has an edge-roll doorway with a 6-panel door and a 2-light moulded mullion window above it. To the right, there is a later cottage extension that is also two storeys tall, featuring shallower eaves and a stone ball finial on the north gable. This extension has two windows on each floor, which are glazing bar sashes set in exposed moulded frames, and a plain door to the right. The return to the south includes two windows of the 2-light moulded mullion type, with a long mullion on the ground floor that has an extra window in the gable-end of the main range. The central edge-roll doorway on this side has a bracketed moulded flat hood. The garret window of the main part features a flat mullion with an edge-roll and a dripmould.

Inside, 19th-century country pub fittings have been removed, revealing bare stone walls. There is a large fireplace in the south-east room with a cambered lintel, and at least two beams on the ground floor have plain raised stops to their chamfers.
