Description

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 15th century on the right side of the stack, with the rest built in the late 16th to early 17th century. The exterior was later encased in red brick in the 19th century, and it features a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a two-cell form. There are two windows with large-paned sashes set under segmental arches. The entrance is a lobby with a mid-20th century gabled porch and a half-glazed door. Inside, there is an internal stack, and on the ground floor, a notable plank screen with moulded muntins, likely from the 16th century, along with exposed chamfered joisting. The first floor showcases good exposed framing, two early blocked mullioned windows, old floorboarding, some original doors, and newel stairs, although the attic stairs were rebuilt in the 19th century. The earlier section of the farmhouse was part of a former open hall house, which was raised approximately 0.3 meters and re-roofed in the 18th century; part of the arched-braced open truss remains visible on the first floor.
