Hill House Farmhouse

Hill House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and was formerly equipped with attics. The building is timber-framed and roughcast-rendered, topped with a plaintiled roof. There is an internal chimney stack with a square base featuring a recessed panel and a plain rebuilt red brick shaft.

The farmhouse has three 3-light windows on each storey, with mid-20th century replacements on the ground floor and Edwardian mullion-and-transom windows on the upper floor. A 20th-century plank door provides the entrance. Inside, the farmhouse boasts a good interior with exposed timbering and a three-cell lobby-entrance layout, although the third unit seems to be a slightly later addition, as indicated by evidence of removed end walls on each floor.

The main beams in the rooms flanking the stack are adorned with ovolo-moulding and curved stops with bars, while the joists are chamfered and stopped. There is one open fireplace featuring a roll-moulded timber lintel. On the upper floor, the post-heads have long jowls, and while some original upper ceilings remain, there are also blocked original windows and arched braces present in the side and end walls.
