Description
Hillend Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1650. It features a rendered timber frame and a slate roof with a catslide over an outshut to the south-west. The house has a baffle-entry plan and consists of two framed bays aligned north-west to south-east. It stands two storeys tall and has a large central brick and stone ridge stack.
On the north-east (entrance) front, there is a small first-floor two-light casement window to the right and a ground-floor two-light metal casement window also to the right, with a central 20th-century boarded door. The left-hand gable end has mid-to-late 19th-century two-light segmental-headed wooden casements and a segmental-headed boarded door to the right. There is a late 20th-century addition to the north-west.
Inside, the right-hand ground floor room features chamfered beams with ogee stops, chamfered joists with run-out stops, and a large open fireplace with a chamfered lintel and bracketed mantle. The left-hand ground floor room has a chamfered beam and an open fireplace with an early 19th-century surround and a spit rack above.
