Description
Castle Hill Farmhouse is a house and cottage that have been combined into one dwelling, dating from the early to mid-18th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and ashlar dressings. The roof has been renewed with dark asbestos slate tiles and features stone gable copings and brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has four windows. The second bay has a raised stone surround for a six-panel door, while the first three bays have similar surrounds for margined sashes. The fourth bay contains fixed lights with glazing bars and top-hung casements. The gable copings rest on widely-curved kneelers, and there are chimneys located at the left end and to the right of the third bay, with a truncated stone chimney at the right end.
Inside, there is a square open-well staircase at the center rear, which has a ramped moulded handrail on fluted newels and a Chinese fret balustrade. The interior also features some two-panel doors, some H hinges, and architraves for the six-panel doors with fielded panels.
