Description

Upper Rectory Farmhouse is a 17th-century timber-framed building with a slate roof that features axial and gable end stacks. The structure is box-framed in regular square panels set on a brick plinth, with painted brick nogging. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-unit plan, divided into four bays by continuous vertical posts. This design creates a two-bay hall flanked by single bays on either end. There are later additions, including a parallel rear range and wing, which are constructed of brick on a stone plinth.

The baffle entrance is located to the right of the center, featuring a timbered and gabled porch that houses a fine six-panelled door. The windows throughout the farmhouse are wooden casements with three lights, complete with mullions and transoms, which appear to have replaced the original horizontally sliding sashes. Gabled dormers in the roof contain two-light casements. To the left of the main range, there are single-storey outbuildings made of brick, topped with a hipped graded slate roof and featuring a three-light leaded window.

Inside, the baffle entrance leads to a small lobby in front of the main chimney stack, located to the right of the heated hall, which has stairs rising from its rear wall. There is also a secondary staircase, possibly of an earlier date, situated at the rear of the stack. Heated rooms are found on either side of the hall, with the drawing room featuring horizontally sliding internal shutters.
