ORCHARD HOUSE, DAMS, TREES AND PINE WINDBREAK - Physical Description 1
Elements of the Upton orchard property remain in Upton Court. The house, on the corner of Jumping Creek Road, dates from around 1950. The house is L-shaped, timber-framed and externally rendered, and has a tiled, gabled roof. A pergola extends across part of the main facade.
The house is set within a small garden containing a small African Lacebark, Norfolk Island Pine, cedar and eucalypts. At the rear of the house were the cool stores, recently removed.
A group of pine trees, planted for mill timber, have been retained within a public reserve (Arthur Upton Reserve). The reserve also contains three large dams, built to serve the orchard.
