Description
Hill Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed with a timber frame and has a plastered brick facing, topped with red plain tiled roofs. The building features a central range flanked by gabled crosswings on both sides, and there is a red brick chimney stack for each range. The house is one storey high with attics, including a gabled dormer on the central range and two flat-headed dormers on the right side. The windows consist of a 1:1:1 arrangement of vari-light casements with segmental heads. A 20th-century porch has been added to the main range.
Inside, notable features include meat hooks hanging from the kitchen ceiling beams, vertically boarded doors with original hinges, and an inglenook fireplace made of brick with 16th-century chamfered jambs and a 17th-century altered mantel beam with a semi-circular back. The interior also has stop-chamfered bridging joists and four moulded cast iron fire surrounds, along with one marble fire surround.
