Description
Tewin Hill Farm House is a house that dates from the mid-16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 18th centuries. It has been altered and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is exposed with rendered infill on the ground floor, while the first floor is covered in machine tile hanging, and the rear is rendered. It has steeply pitched tiled roofs and a red brick dairy addition.
The house consists of a two-bay hall range with a jettied cross wing on the right and a parallel range added to the rear. It stands two storeys high, with large scantling to the exposed frame, close studding, and a middle rail. The 20th-century windows include two and four-light casements, and there is a red brick plinth. The first floor has two and three-light small pane casements. The cross wing features renewed tension braces on the ground floor that are in the same plane, and it has curved brackets supporting the jettied first floor.
On the right side, there is an external stack towards the front with offsets, which is whitewashed. A catslide roof covers a 20th-century lean-to with an entrance that has sham framing. The left gable end has close studding with a middle rail, an entrance, and 20th-century casements. At the rear, there is a four-bay parallel range, likely from the 17th century, which is fully rendered. It has a 20th-century gabled porch and small pane casements, with a hip roof at the back of the cross wing.
Attached to the left end of the later range is a low one-storey and attic red brick dairy from the 18th century, which has doors at the front and rear and a hipped dormer that abuts the main range. There is a blocked opening in the gable end, with the upper part stuccoed. The interior has not been inspected.
