Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 16th century, with a probable 17th-century extension on the right side, and a mid 20th-century addition at the extreme right. It is a single long range, with the earlier section featuring a three-cell layout and likely originally having a cross-passage entry. The structure is timber framed, partly plastered, but mainly covered in red brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five windows, mostly mid 20th-century casements. On the left side, there is a lobby entrance with a gabled brick porch and a six-panel door, of which the upper two panels are glazed, along with a boarded door on the right side. The later part of the farmhouse includes an original ovolo-moulded mullioned window at the rear. Inside, there are two internal stacks. The hall features a very fine roll-moulded beam and joist ceiling, with enriched carved stops on the main beam and carved storey posts; this room also has a blocked four-light mullioned window. The parlour and the room directly above also display roll-moulded beam and joist ceilings, and there is some good exposed framing on the first floor.
