Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is an early to mid-16th century farmhouse. The left-hand gable end is encased in 19th-century orange brick, while the roof is covered with plain tiles. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a jettied first floor at the front. Originally comprising two rooms side-by-side, it now has four windows, featuring various good 2-light and 3-light casements with small panes, likely dating to the 19th century but in a late 17th/early 18th-century style. A lobby entrance has a boarded and battened door with a narrow rectangular fanlight, and a 19th-century enclosed gabled porch, also plastered, has been added. A central internal stack serves the house. A small lean-to addition is located on the right-hand side. The ground floor rooms retain fine roll-moulded beam and joist ceilings, with enriched stop-chamfers to the floor beams and run-out stops to the joists. A newel staircase exists, and some original floorboarding remains on the first floor. There are some blocked fireplaces with original lintels. The majority of the timber frame is concealed.
