Description
Upper Hilltop Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has 17th century remains and was refaced in the mid 19th century. It features a timber frame, which has mostly been replaced by brickwork, and has a tiled roof that may have originally been thatched, with ridge stacks. The building is single-storey with an attic and has a two-window front. There is a single pent-roofed dormer on the right side of the attic, which could have been thatched over. The ground floor has two segmental-headed casements in the center, and the entrance to the left has a segmental head and a boarded door. A deep wall plate and an area of coursed stonework remain from the earlier structure at the left-hand angle of the front. The rear elevation retains a panel of framing with a diagonal brace.
