Hill House Farmhouse

Hill House Farmhouse is a house that was originally built as a farmhouse in the 17th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building has been recently altered and restored. It features a timber frame that is partly covered and partly replaced by coursed sandstone and some brick, topped with a slate roof. The layout follows a three-unit lobby-entry plan and consists of two storeys with three bays. The doorway is located at the junction of the first and second bays and has the remains of a Tudor-arched lintel. To the left of the doorway, there is a round-headed loop-light, and each floor has three windows, all of which are modern casements except for the ground floor window in the third bay, which has two lights with a chamfered stone mullion. The farmhouse has two ridge chimneys positioned at the junctions of the bays.

The left gable displays an exposed king post truss supported by four pairs of raked struts. The right-hand gable wall features close-studded framing on a stone plinth, with parts restored, including two wall posts, a sill, a rail, concave braces to the tie-beam, and a king-post roof truss with four pairs of raked struts. There is a window on each floor with a modern wooden diamond-mullion external frame. At the rear, the third (southern) bay has similar framing, while the middle bay is constructed of stone at the ground floor and brick above. There is a 19th-century service wing at the junction of the first and second bays.

Inside, there are substantial remains of timber framing, including two stop-chamfered spine beams in each bay, an inglenook with a similarly decorated bressummer, a Tudor arched parlour fireplace, and a smoke hood.
