Upleadon Court is a large brick farmhouse with nearby barns that forms a visual group with the church (see photograph below). The main building has a hipped roof, dormers, and modest windows and door. It dates from the eighteenth century. The adjoining timber framed wing is of the seventeenth century. There is a suggestion that the farmhouse was rebuilt after a fire, something that would explain the awkward juxtaposition of the older wing if it was all that remained of the original building. The framing of this structure is typical of the west of England with its square layout of timbers and absence of close studding.
