Upton House

Upton House is a Grade II listed building located in Upton Cheyney, rebuilt in 1857 in the Tudor style while incorporating an earlier 18th-century house. The structure features two earlier gabled wings that project to the rear. It is constructed of rubble with stone tiled roofs and has pairs of diagonally set chimney stacks, with a gabled belfry on the east chimney.

The east front showcases a gable end from 1857 on the left, which slightly breaks the line, and includes moulded heads above irregular casement windows. There is a crenellated link to the south front, which has a lower two-storey rendered wing with coped verges and two ashlar chimneys with moulded stacks. The building has raised quoins, a modillion cornice, and a blocking course. The first floor features two segment-headed glazing bar sashes in keyed architraves, with one on the ground floor to the right and a pair to the left.

The south front rises to two and a half storeys, with two projecting gables and a central recess for the entrance, which has a crenellated parapet and gabled dormers. The gables are coped with saddlestones. The facade consists of three bays, with 2-light windows in the attic, 3-light windows on the outer first floor, and 1-3-1 light crenellated bays on the outer ground floor, all featuring moulded heads and transoms, with drips on the upper floors. The centre bay has an angled first-floor oriel bay with lozenge-shaped label stops, a crenellated parapet, and foiled heads on the transom lights, along with an escutcheon inscribed 'JP' over the year 1857. The entrance is set within a tripartite screen with headstops to the label and foil heads, featuring a Tudor arch doorway with a moulded panel door.

The north front also has two projecting gables, with 3-light mullion windows on the ground floor and segment-headed glazing bar sashes in architraves with acanthus leaf keys on the first floor. It includes a moulded plinth and wings linked by a central porch with a bracket cornice at the doorway, and oval keyed windows in the gables. There is a single-storey extension to the north-east, dating from the mid-19th century, which contains a cell and warden's room for the manor court.

Inside, the house features a rich Jacobean-style staircase with fret-carved newels, pierced finials, and splat balusters, along with Tudor-style fittings that include elaborate ceiling cornices and fireplaces.
