Description

Upton Wold House is a late 17th-century building that has been restored. It is an excellent example of a compact double pile house in the Cotswold tradition. The house has two storeys and attics, constructed from coursed rubble, with a central section that projects forward and features ashlar detailing, including parapets and gables.

The facade has three gables, with the central one brought forward and one window on the returns, topped with ball finials. There are cornice strings at lintel height, which drop to the level of the door cornice on the ground floor. The windows are mullioned with transoms on both the ground and first floors, and there are cornices above the attic windows, along with rusticated bulls-eye windows above.

The central doorway is Tudor-arched, featuring panelled spandrels and urn-stops, with a studded door and a wrought-iron 'Y'-shaped knocker. The roof is covered with stone tiles and has coped verges, with diagonal ashlar chimneys that have lozenges in the friezes below the cornices, positioned at the ends and in a group of four at the center. There is a hipped dormer behind the parapet to the left of center, while the west front has no gables but features three dormers instead.

To the north, there is a later single-storey and attic extension with a stone slate roof and four gabled dormers. The ground floor window has been altered, except for a mullioned window in the south gable. Inside, the house features a restored staircase with heavy balusters.
