Description
Hill Foot Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse with early 19th-century additions. It is constructed of brick and features hipped plain tile roofs, a rubble and brick plinth, dentillated eaves, and two lateral brick stacks. The building is three storeys high and has three bays, designed in an L-plan.
The south front includes two brick clasping buttresses and a central mid-20th-century gabled brick porch, which has a 19th-century half-glazed door with a segmental head. On either side of the porch are 20th-century three-light casement windows. Above the porch, there is a central two-light casement flanked by single three-light casements, all featuring segmental rubbed brick heads. Above this, there is another central two-light casement with single three-light casements on either side.
The east side of the farmhouse has three casements and a door, all from the 20th century. At the rear, there is an early 19th-century single-storey addition with a rounded north-west corner. The rear elevation features three two-light casements with segmental heads above.
