Horsley Hills Farmhouse

This is a farmhouse, originally dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, with substantial rebuilding in 1772. Part of the earlier structure incorporates squared and coursed sandstone, while the 1772 section is built of Flemish garden wall bond brick, topped with a gabled roof of plain tiles. Brick ridge and end stacks are present, the ridge stack featuring two diagonally-set flues.

The farmhouse's layout consists of a two-unit plan with a projecting cross wing to the left. The two-storey, four-window front of the cross wing features segmental brick arches over tall 19th-century wooden cross windows, with storey bands. The range to the right has a segmental brick header arch above a 19th-century 3-light casement window, a brick soldier arch above a 20th-century 3-light casement window, and a 19th-century 3-light casement window that breaks through a dentilled brick cornice. A segmental brick header arch frames the rear entrance, leading to an 18th-century plank door.

Inside, the farmhouse features stop-chamfered and cased beams, 18th-century plank doors, and a service stair to the rear of the stack. This stair leads to a separate first-floor room on the right-hand side. A central ground-floor room has a chamfered lintel over the open fireplace. The cross wing's left side includes a mid-18th century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters on a closed string. A late 16th-century panelled door gives access to a 15th/16th century cellar constructed of squared sandstone blocks, containing a mullioned 2-light window.

The farmhouse is situated near the site of Horsley hamlet, which was depopulated during the 14th and 15th centuries.
