Description
Hillmead Farm House is a house dating from the late 16th century, with part of it rebuilt in the mid 20th century. It features a timber frame with red brick cladding and nogging, and the first floor is rendered. The house has tiled roofs and is two storeys high, with a plinth. The ground floor has one and three light casement windows, while the first floor displays exposed framing, including a mid rail, posts, studs, and braces, along with more one and three light casements. There is a ridge stack at the right end with a rebuilt cap. To the right, the two-bay mid 20th-century rebuilding includes an entrance and two light casements. The left gable end has an 18th-century external stack with offsets, exposed framing, and a tenoned purlin roof. At the rear, there is an exposed post and two three light casements, along with lean-to additions. Inside, there are ovolo-moulded and chamfered bearers, and a late 16th-century decorative wall painting on the ground floor partition wall, featuring thistles in diamond frames with quatrefoils.
