Description
Wall Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1621 and 1839, with 20th-century alterations. It features a painted, rendered timber frame, although some sections have been replaced by brickwork, set on a sandstone plinth, and has tiled roofs. The building has a massive 19th-century central stone chimney stack. Its plan is T-shaped, consisting of a parlour wing and a hall, and it stands two storeys high with an attic.
The front has three gables, with the left side featuring a projecting parlour cross wing that includes a central range of windows. The attic has a two-tier, stepped, one-over-three-light window, while the first floor has 20th-century casements with three small-pane lights, designed to simulate timber patterns. The right gable is set back and aligns with the main body of the house, featuring a gable that approximates symmetry. This gable has a slightly jettied first floor and eaves line, with painted render that simulates studwork and diagonal braces. The attic window mirrors that of the left gable, and the first-floor window, which may have once been larger, has five lights offset to the right, with chamfered timber mullions and lead lattice casements. Below it is a three-light 20th-century casement with applied leadwork.
There is a gabled porch bay set into the return angle against the left wing, largely constructed of brickwork, featuring a small apex window similar to the other attic windows and a Tudor-arched doorway with an overlight and a five-panel door. The doorway has shields at the imposts and an inscribed panel above depicting a naive low-relief face. The house is characterized by its prominent chimney stack, which has a broad T-shaped square base, corniced with gargoyles at the angles and four broadly spaced, corniced octagonal shafts added in 1839.
