Upper Hayston

Upper Hayston is an earlier 19th century farmhouse that stands two storeys tall and features three bays with a piend roof and a single-storey wing at the rear. The building is constructed from coursed squared rubble with ashlar quoins, and it has a stugged ashlar porch that includes a base course, cornice, and blocking course. The windows are made with stone mullions.

The north elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central bay with a porch that has a bipartite window, a panelled timber door, and a three-pane fanlight to the right. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor.

On the south elevation, there is a bipartite window in the bay to the left of centre at ground level, along with a single-storey extension projecting to the right. The centre has a tall stair window, with additional windows in the flanking bays.

The east elevation has windows at the outer right and left on the ground floor, with a prominent wallhead stack in the centre. There is a slightly recessed single-storey wing with a window to the left.

The west elevation features a window to the outer left at ground level and a dominant wallhead stack in the centre.

The windows throughout the building have 8-, 12-, and 18-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case style, with a margined bipartite window in the porch. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the shouldered, coped ashlar stacks have cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997, but it includes decorative astragals on the screen door and timber shutters.

There is a small walled garden to the northeast, enclosed by coped rubble walls. The boundary walls are also made of coped rubble, featuring gatepiers with bent-hoop cast-iron gates.
