Description
Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600 and later. Originally timber-framed, it has been replaced with brick and heightened, featuring original brick and flint gable-ends. The roof is covered with pantiles and the building has two storeys. The ground floor has modern casement windows set beneath arched heads and a modern off-centre front door. The east gable-end displays two 2-light diamond mullion windows, while the northern return of the west gable-end has a single 2-light diamond mullion window. The gable-ends are adorned with moulded brick corbels, and there are modern stacks on the west side. A 18th-century three-header corbel table is present. Inside, there is a winding stair next to the original stack and some fine re-used roll-moulded beams in the eastern ground floor room.
