Description
Upland is a Georgian double-pile, three-storey, five-bay house featuring roughcast walls and a slate roof with dentillated eaves and a moulded cornice, although part of the cornice is missing on the left side. The symmetrical front of the house includes a central panelled door beneath a round-headed overlight, all set within a Tuscan portico that has a plain entablature. The windows on the lower storey are two-pane sashes with margin lights, while the middle storey has similar but shorter windows. The upper storey is fitted with short six-pane sash windows.
On the right gable end, there are single windows offset to the left in the front pile and two windows in the rear pile, which consist of small-pane and margin-lit two-pane sashes. Attached to the right gable end is a long, lower two-storey rear wing with a central stone ridge stack that has been rebuilt in brick. The windows in this wing are 20th-century replacements.
At the rear of the main house, there is a central round-headed stair light leading to the lower landing, featuring late 19th-century margin-lit Y-tracery glazing. Above this, there is a four-pane sash window, and to the right of centre, another stair light and a twelve-pane sash window. Other windows at the rear have also been replaced.
Inside, the rear stairway has a timber-framed partition. The top floor retains some 18th-century fireplaces, doors, and detailing. The lower levels of the main house were not accessible during the inspection in 1999, but they are noted to retain some cornices and doors.

Upland sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,320 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
