Description
Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the second half of the 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, featuring wattle and daub infill and some brickwork, topped with a pantiled roof. The building has a through passage plan and stands two storeys high. There is an original door to the right and a later door left of centre. The windows include scattered 18th-century casements. It has a central ridge stack and a subsidiary external stack on the north gable. The gables are designed with two drip shelves and louvred roof ventilation panels. Inside, the heavy wall plate supports timber framing that is arch braced at the corners and at the main frame divisions. The ground floor features spine beams with tongue stops, and there is a winder staircase by the stack with solid treads leading from the first floor to the attic. Some internal doors still have H hinges. The roof structure includes a tie beam with Queen post struts to the collars and one tier of clasped purlins.
