Description

Castle Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now serving as both a farmhouse and a shop, built around 1800. It features brown brick in Flemish bond and has a grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high with two windows. Notable architectural details include rusticated quoins, a keystone and voussoirs on the lintels, and three courses of corbelling at the eaves. The entrance has a six-panel door, with the lower two panels flush and the upper panels now glazed, set within an early 20th-century round-arched gabled porch. The windows are 18-pane three-light casements. The lower rear wing of the building is currently used as a shop. Inside, there are six-panel doors, chamfered red softwood beams in the left room, and a cornice with a ceiling of three panels in the right room; however, the stair has been replaced.
