Upleadon Court

This is a farmhouse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The main part of the building is constructed of English-bond brickwork, with a brick and random-rubble stone plinth visible at the left end. To the right is a brick-nogged timber-frame, partly rebuilt in brick on a random-rubble stone return. The roof is tiled, with a section of the rear slope covered in stone slates. The house is L-shaped, with a one-room-deep, three-room main block that is two storeys high with attics, and a gabled two-storey section on the right forming a return leg.

The front of the house, facing the church, has a 3-light casement window set within a dummy opening with a cambered brick arch. To the right is a single-storey, flat-roofed bay window with a sash window, also under a cambered brick arch. Above this is the outline of a wide gable. The main entrance is a 6-panel door, approached by three stone steps, with glazed top panels and a flat porch with a moulded edge supported by brackets. There is a similar bay window to the right, without a gable outline, and a cambered head to a barred cellar opening below. A plain brick string course runs along the first floor, with a dummy opening and a cambered brick arch on the left, and 3-light casement windows over the bays, with iron-opening lights and cambered brick arches. A 2-light window is positioned above the door. The roof is hipped, with four hipped dormers incorporating 2-light casements, set into the eaves. A small brick stack is located towards the rear of the left end, alongside two large ridge chimneys, each to the left of a bay window.

The timber-framed gable to the right has lower eaves than the main block. A cambered head is visible above a barred cellar opening below the sill on the left, and a flat-roofed, single-storey bay window is slightly left of centre, featuring a two-light casement. The right end of the brick casing to the ground floor on the right return is tiled. On the first floor, some panels have a thin intermediate stud, and a 3-light casement is set in the centre, above a tie beam to a jettied gable. Curved braces are visible to the wall plate on the right, some with curved formers indicating a coved jetty. The ends of the ceiling beams show in the brick nogging, along with two pairs of purlins. Two external brick chimneys are on the right return, and the rear of the wing has been rebuilt in brick.

The interior includes a cross passage from the front door, with a 2-panel door leading to a room on the right and 2-panel doors to cupboards. Panelled shutters and panelling are situated below the bay windows in the rooms on the left and right. A subsidiary stair is located only in the brick section, originally off a room to the left of the entrance behind a chimney; the main stair is in the timber-framed wing with a heavy handrail. A deep chamfer is visible on the ceiling beams in the front room of this wing. The house is said to have been largely rebuilt following a fire. It forms a group with the nearby church and two barns.
