Description
Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1623, as indicated by a plastered panel on the left-hand stack. It features a T-plan layout, is two storeys high, and has a single-storey range on the left. The roofs are thatched. The left-hand stack has a moulded brick cornice and engaged diagonal shafts made of local red brick. A similar brick is used in the kneed parapet gable wall, which has a plain stack on the right. The timber-frame structure consists of three bays and is cased in gault brick. On the first floor, there are two horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars. Flanking the central door and open porch are two casement windows with glazing bars set in segmental arches. Inside, the farmhouse has stop-chamfered ceiling beams and two inglenook hearths, one of which is semi-elliptical in plan on the right. There is a stair beside the stack leading to the first-floor garret.
