Hillend Farmhouse

Hillend Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1734. It features a timber frame with plastered and painted brick infill, and has two brick stacks on the rear wall, with one on the left gable. The building is 1½ storeys high, with an attic that is lit by three gabled dormers. It has an irregular arrangement of openings across three plus one bays, with the right-hand bay constructed of brick. The windows are all 19th-century casements, with two in the left bay, two in the next bay, followed by a door to the right, one in the next bay, and another door to the right, along with a door in the brick bay. All openings feature plank weatherings. The framing consists of three square panels high to the wall-plate, supported by straight angle braces. The left gable originally had a truss with three queen struts to the collar, and there is a datestone above that reads: "A'd/ Dei O M Gloriam/ et/ In Usum Publi.../ H.P. Æ./ R.P./ 1734". This farmhouse was part of the endowment of the Chantry School in Martley.
