Description

Upper House is a two-storey brick building with an attic and a slate roof, featuring three bays and two rear wings made of stone, one of which originally housed a dairy. The building has brick end stacks and a dentil brick eaves course above the upper storey. There are two three-light windows with chamfered heads, set far apart, and small casements within nine-frame windows. Additionally, there is a one-light window offset to the right on the upper floor. A glazed door is located under a trellis porch.

Inside, the living room showcases a 17th-century moulded spine beam, with the mouldings sweeping to pyramidal stops, and joists that are chamfered and also have pyramidal stops.
