History and description
The origins of the farmhouse are medieval.[1] In the 17th century, the building was expanded and refaced in stone.[1] In the 18th a large new house was constructed in a Renaissance style and the original hall house was utilised as a service wing. An alternative suggestion is that the two buildings operated as separate living units.[1]
The house is of three storeys, with substantial chimney stacks. The interior is "exceptionally well-preserved.[1] Upper Green has been little studied, appearing neither in Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan's Monmouthshire Houses nor in John Newman's Monmouthshire. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
