Description
Upper Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse constructed from rubble stone and covered with concrete tiles. It features a hipped roof with a single ridge stack positioned to the left. The building is two storeys high and has an L-shaped plan, with flush quoins and cyma-moulded stone mullion windows that have small panes and sash opening lights. The front of the house has four windows; the left end may have been added later, with two 2-light windows above and two 3-light windows below, along with a window that was once a doorway. The west side has a two-window range, mostly 3-light windows, except for a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor to the right. The east side of the rear wing features a 3-light window on each floor and a door, with the upper window having a blocked centre light and leaded sidelights.
