A rather splendid, if somewhat rambling, farmhouse just south of Haughmond Hill. The core of the building is likely to be late 16th century, but it's been much extended and altered over the years. Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101267697-downton-farmhouse-upton-magna#.YjxkaefP02w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1267697 in 1985. Comparison with a 2003 photo on the Historic England site suggests that several of the windows have been recently replaced in a much more sympathetic style than the previous version.
