Description

Upcott House and The Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into two houses. It dates back to the 17th century and was enlarged around 1790, with a porch added in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond on a rubble plinth, with the east front rendered and a hipped slate roof behind a parapet.

The layout likely consists of three cells and a cross passage running east to west, with the eastern end refronted. Two additional rooms were added to the south front, and a staircase was inserted to the left of the current entrance. The house features three bays; the first floor has 16-pane sash windows flanking a 12-pane sash window, while the ground floor has a 16-pane sash window to the left of a central flat-roofed porch made of ashlar Bath stone. To the right of the porch is an upper section of a 16-pane sash window with 20th-century inserted glazing below, a semi-circular headed doorway, a leaded fanlight, and a half-glazed door.

On the left return, there is a 19th-century three-light ogee-headed window. The main entrance now faces the road with a nine-bay right return, constructed of brick, which retains the remains of a coved cornice, coped verges, and a brick stack on the right gable end. There are also brick sticks to the left of a blocked doorway and rising from the eaves above two blind windows on the left end. To the right, there are three 16-pane sash windows, a half door below, and two 16-pane sash windows to the right, with door and window openings modified in the end four bays on the right.
