The core of the timber-framed house at Upper House Farm is probable 15th century and was originally a hall with a solar wing. The roof is of stone tile. The house was enlarged in the late 16th and 17th centuries.

Research by Malcolm Mason of the Eardisley History Group, shows that at the time of the tithe map (1841) the farm’s tenant was Thomas Harris, a farmer, aged 45, who occupied it with his wife and servants, and that it was owned by Elizabeth Foley. Manorial records can be used to trace ownership and occupancy back to 1733, when it was held by Thomas Whitmore.

The barns are vernacular buildings of a variety of styles and materials, which were clearly built in response to changing agricultural needs and practices. This 300-year-old barn is a Grade II listed building. It is a half-timbered, weatherboard-clad building on a rubble stone base at the northern end of the yard flanking the road is a six-bay threshing barn.

It has a stone threshing floor with large barn doors arranged opposite one another on either side. This arrangement allows wagons to drive in, unload the stooks of corn, and then drive out the other side.

Threshing was done in winter, when the weather was too bad to work outside and no other pressing work called. The opposing doors allowed the wind to blow away the chaff.
