Description

Hill Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has undergone 19th-century alterations and additions. It features a timber-framed structure with roughcast rendering and a 19th-century red plain tiled half-hipped roof, which has a central 17th-century ridge stack with grouped shafts. The building is two storeys tall with attics and includes a 19th-century rear lean-to. The original layout is a two-unit lobby entry plan, with the gable facing the street and the main entrance located on the south elevation. There is a 19th-century gabled closed porch made of red brick, which has patterned bargeboards and a panelled door. On the right side of the ground floor, there is a sixteen-paned hung sash window, while the left side features two casement windows on each floor level. Interior details date from the 19th century.
