Description
Hill Top Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse that was heightened in the 19th century and may incorporate an earlier structure. It is built of brick and has a Welsh slate roof, featuring an L-shaped plan with a projecting wing to the right. The building is two storeys high. The main range has a central doorway with a cambered brick head and a 3-light casement window to the left. The two windows on the right side have been renewed. The upper storey also has 3-light casement windows, all with cambered brick heads, and much of this upper section reflects the 19th-century heightening. There is a partial rubble plinth at the rear. The cross wing, which is externally early 19th century, may be older internally and features two 3-light casements in the gable end. The roof has gable and axial stacks from the mid-19th century.
