Description
Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a likely earlier core. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell lobby entrance plan and a later rear service wing. It is timber-framed and plastered, with some parts underbuilt in the 19th century using painted brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and includes central and gable chimneys made of red brick. The farmhouse has early 19th-century small-pane sash windows and a prominent two-storey entrance porch made of painted brick, topped with a plain-tiled roof and featuring a four-panelled door. At the left (service) end, the exposed framing at the upper floor level dates to around 1600, while the remaining framing, along with the plaster cornices and ceiling motifs in the parlour and chamber above, are from the late 17th century.
