Description

Castle Hill Farmhouse is a late 17th century farmhouse that was remodelled in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from irregularly-coursed limestone and features a stone slate eaves course beneath a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with a gabled wing projection to the left and an outshut at the rear right. It is two storeys tall, previously having attics, with a 1:4 window arrangement on the first floor. The farmhouse has large quoins and a gabled 19th-century porch at the angle of the plan, which includes a door with margin-light glazing and an arched lintel. To the right of the porch, there is a doorway with a chamfered surround and a Tudor-arched lintel, flanked by two-light mullioned windows that have casements with glazing bars set in recessed, chamfered surrounds. There are four similar windows on the first floor. The wing to the left has a similar window on each floor, with a smaller attic window. The building features shaped kneelers with gable copings and finial bases, as well as rendered ridge stacks on both the wing and the main range, with a matching end stack on the far right. At the rear, there is an offset lateral stack on the outshut.
