Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house situated in Stambourne. Constructed of gault brick and red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a slate roof, the house has a near-square double-pile plan and faces southeast. It features two internal chimney stacks symmetrically arranged, and an original rear wing to the northwest with a chimney stack at the end. The house is two storeys high. The central front door is made up of six panels, with the upper four glazed and a rectangular light above. It is set within a Tuscan porch. Double-hung sash windows of 16 lights are present on each floor, except for one window above the door, which has 12 lights. The roof is hipped with a shallow pitch and a long overhang, featuring paired brackets below the eaves. The overall design is symmetrical. The front elevation, the southwest (garden) elevation, and the main chimneys are built of gault brick, while the remainder of the house is constructed of red brick. The southwest elevation has double-glazed doors within a cast iron porch decorated with anthemion and scroll designs. A single 16-light window is present on both the ground and first floors of the garden elevation, mirroring the front. All windows are original, and some contain crown glass. A first-floor window on the northeast elevation of the service wing contains an original window composed of one wrought iron casement and one fixed light, with small rectangular leaded panes. The house is an exceptionally unaltered example of its period.
