Description

Hill Top Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with remodelling in the late 18th century and a 20th-century rear wing. It is constructed of red brick and partly timber framed, featuring plain-tile roofs with brick coped gables at the front and projecting brick end stacks. The main range has a rear parallel extension and a side extension.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic. The west front has four restored 8/8 sash windows with ashlar lintels and keyblocks. There are round-headed 6/3 sash windows with ashlar semicircular surrounds and keyblocks in each of the two front gables at attic level. The doorcase is a renewed moulded wood pilaster design with an open pediment and a blocked semicircular fanlight, flanked by multi-pane 20th-century casement windows with plain lintels. To the right side, there is a single-storey timber-framed wing with restored casements. The left return side features a projecting brick stack and a single 20th-century multi-pane casement to the right, along with a 20th-century extension wing to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
