Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the mid or late 16th century, with an early 17th-century parlour block to the right. It has a three-cell plan and stands two storeys high. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof that features an axial chimney made of red brick, along with an internal end chimney on the right side. The farmhouse has small-pane mid-19th-century sash windows, with those in the hall and parlour cells including sidelights. A 20th-century entrance porch, which is fully glazed and has a semicircular plan with a glazed door, has been added. The good unmoulded framing is exposed, showcasing the construction from the 16th and 17th centuries. The building displays close-studding, with some fragmentary moulded mullioned 16th-century windows in the hall cell, and ovolo-moulded mullioned windows in the parlour, one of which has a transom. The roof structure features side purlins. Notably, the parlour cell is out of alignment and seems to have once extended eastwards. The farmhouse is also associated with a likely medieval moat.
