Description

Upper House is a two-storey building with a U-shaped plan, featuring crosswings that were built at different times. The right-hand wing is likely the original part and has a hipped roof at the rear. A single-storey lean-to extends along the length of the rear wall. The front elevation is rendered, while the rear is made of coursed rubble with a rubble plinth. The roofs are covered with slate. There is a brick ridge stack located to the left of the center and a projecting rubble stack with offsets and a brick upper on the right-hand wing's side wall.

The entrance features a six-panel door with a transom light, located to the right of the central range, along with an open timber porch that has a slate roof. The front has modern casement windows and a modern glazed door at the left-hand wing end. The side windows are small-paned casements set under cambered voussoir lintels. The rear lean-to includes 19th-century boarded doors and small-paned casements.

The building has not been fully inspected, but some timber-framing is exposed. The central room showcases a bressummer wall-framing and a chequerboard arrangement of very deep chamfered beams with pyramid stops. The left-hand wing features narrow chamfered beams and exposed joists. There is a rear dog-leg staircase in this wing, which has wavy pattern splat balusters and a squared newel with corner mouldings. Additionally, there is a two-panel, raised and fielded door in the right-hand wing. The ridge stack has a massive rubble base.
