Description

Cunningham Hill Farmhouse is an early 17th century timber-framed house divided into two sections. The right section features a high-pitched, swept tiled roof with a central chimney and rectangular shape with revetted angles. It has a moulded brick cornice and a red brick facade. On the first floor, there are two four-light and one two-light casements set in near-flush moulded frames. The ground floor has two windows beneath wide, segmental, gauged brick arches, which contain modern casements. The left section, which has a later 17th century appearance, is cement rendered and has one window on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all featuring 19th century casements. Inside, the farmhouse boasts many exposed beams, old plank floors, and two old bread ovens.
