Description


ENSTONE UPPER CLEVELEY
SP32SE
8/75 Upper Farmhouse

GV II

Farmhouse, now house. Probably mid/late C17 and late C17/early C18, altered and
extended C20. Coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings; Welsh-slate roof
with ashlar stacks. Single-unit plan extended to 2 units plus outbuilding. 2
storeys plus attic. 3 bays to right of 5-window front are earlier and have
leaded 2-light stone-mullioned transomed windows with linked label moulds, and
have the entrance in bay one below a mullioned overlight; cellar has a 2-light
mullioned window. Added section to left continues the strings and has at each
floor, one similar window in C20 ashlar plus a blind window. Gables have stone
parapets with projecting moulded kneelers and triangular copings; stacks with
moulded caps and plinths flank the earlier section. A single-storey outbuilding
to right containing a 3-row dovecote now has C20 mullioned windows and is part
of the house. Interior: large open fireplace in later section. Possibly
originally a dower or garden house to a mansion which is reputed to have existed
nearby.
