Description
Upper Stockland Farmhouse is a two-storey building with a southern elevation featuring two bays. The exterior is clad in cement render and topped with a slate gabled roof that has three chimneys: one in the middle and one at each end. The central chimney serves an early 17th-century fireplace, while the left chimney is associated with an added room, and the right chimney is linked to another added room that contains a bread oven.
On the first floor of the eastern part, there is a single light casement and a two-light casement. The ground floor has two two-light casements with small panes. The western part of the farmhouse is also two storeys but has higher eaves. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows with glazing bars, and in the right bay, there is a red brick porch with a slate canopy and boarding.
During the resurvey in August 2002, only the ground floor was examined. Behind the porch, there is a 19th-century wooden staircase with a circular newel. The room to the west of the hall features stopped and chamfered ceiling beams, a fireplace in the west wall with a doorway to the left, and a cupboard in the north wall, which likely indicates the original stair position. The room to the east of the hall contains a fireplace with a bread oven in the western wall, which is probably the fireplace mentioned in 'Archaeologia Cambrensis'.
