Description

Hill House is a 16th-century cruck-framed house that has been encased in stone in the mid-17th century and features an added cross-wing from the early 19th century. The exterior is made of hammer-dressed stone, with watershot stone on the cross-wing and a stone slate roof. The central hall is single-storey and has an altered window with a hollow chamfered lintel and sill, featuring 19th-century jambs and mullions that now create three large lights. To the right, there is a large stone outshut from the 19th century, while to the left is a gabled two-storey wing with three-light flat-faced mullioned windows on each floor. The main entrance is located between the hall window and the cross-wing. The house has two stacks on the ridge of the main range and a lateral stack on the cross-wing.

Inside, at the first floor level, there is a complete cruck truss with a collar at the apex and a diagonally set ridge. The east end features a wooden mullioned window with five lights, which was originally unglazed but is now covered by a modern extension. The cruck frame is a rare survival, and the house may have originally consisted of three bays. Some of the purlins are re-used timbers with half lap joints.
