Description

Hillside Farm House is a 17th-century farmhouse located on Wellbeck Road in Bergh Apton. The building features a timber frame with brick and flint gable ends, while the rear wall is rendered and colourwashed. The front wall is faced in white-washed brick from the 18th century, and it has a steeply pitched thatched roof.

The house is two storeys tall and follows a lobby entrance plan. The principal facade faces south and has an irregular arrangement of windows, including 2, 3, and 4-light casements with leaded glazing set in chamfered brick reveals. The ground floor openings have segmental arched heads. The entrance is offset to the west and features a six-panel door, with the two upper panels being glazed. It has a simple moulded wooden doorcase topped with a flat canopy. There is also a segmental headed doorway with a ledged and boarded door on the left side.

The gables are parapeted and have large external chimney stacks, with one chimney stack located on the ridge line opposite the entrance door. On the north side, there is a pantiled gabled wing made of colourwashed brick, which is 1½ storeys tall and has single storey pantiled lean-tos on each side.
