Description

Upper Gaer is a house constructed of rubble sandstone painted cream, featuring two storeys and four windows. It has a slate roof with original stone stacks at the center and left, both of which have been partially rebuilt in brick, along with a 19th-century stone stack on the right.

On the lower storey, there is a doorway to the left of center that was inserted in the 18th century, featuring a timber lintel and a 19th-century half-lit boarded door. The original lobby entry was to the right of the existing doorway but is now blocked. Flanking the doorway are 12-pane hornless sash windows, with a similar 9-pane window to the right, all of which have been renewed in earlier openings beneath timber lintels. The upper storey contains two 19th-century sashes on the right under segmental heads, and two 19th-century sashes on the left under stone lintels. There is also a lean-to added against the left gable end and a projection forward on the left. Most of the rear window openings are from the 19th century.

On the right side of the upper storey, there is a two-light casement under a stone lintel, along with a hornless sash under an 18th-century wooden lintel that lights a passage through an internal dividing wall, and a modern insertion to the left. In the lower storey, there is a hornless sash to the left of center, a hopper window to the right of center under a 19th-century stone lintel, and a modern insertion to the right.

The house on the left side retains its original end entry, but the fireplace is now blocked. A post-and-panel partition has mostly been renewed. The original inner room has an inserted straight staircase. The house on the right has a blocked original lobby entry but retains a fireplace with a large chamfered wooden lintel. The fireplace in the inner room is a 19th-century addition. The attic storey is a recent addition, and the roof consists of principals with tenoned collars that have been removed.
