Description

Galley Hill Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with early 19th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with brick dressings and features pantile roofs, raised gables with blue brick coping, and kneelers. The building has a U-shaped plan and is a single storey with attics, topped by a single ridge stack.

The central doorway has a plank door set beneath a wooden lintel and is flanked by two light windows with segmental brick heads. Above, there are two, three-light 20th-century dormers. The left projecting gabled wing contains a single blocked upper window, while the right projecting wing features a square bay window with casements and a two-light casement above. The east front has a single two-light casement and a 20th-century dormer above.

To the right, a wooden lean-to connects the house to a brick kitchen block, which has a single gable stack and a three-light casement under a wooden lintel. Inside, the farmhouse contains chamfered spine beams, and the roof structure dates from the late 19th century.
