Description
The Windmill Hill Farmhouses are an early 18th-century pair of houses. They are built of rendered sandstone with a 20th-century tiled roof. Originally designed as a symmetrical pair, the right-hand house has a small wing at the rear. The houses have two storeys and six bays in total, with a 3:3 bay arrangement to the front. Exposed quoins are visible. A 20th-century part-glazed door sits in a simple architrave with a plain frieze and moulded cornice, and is located in the second bay of the left house. A 20th-century porch provides access to the right-hand house. The windows are flat-faced mullioned with two lights in bays 1, 3, 4, and 6, linked by a cavetto-moulded lintel band. The first floor windows also have two lights in the same bays, with single lights in bays 2 and 5, using a similar lintel band. 20th-century wood casements have been added. The gables feature shaped kneelers and chamfered copings. A rendered ridge stack is located at the left end of the building and above bay 5. A two-storey extension to the left is not of particular architectural interest.
