Description
Hill House is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and built in two stages. It has two storeys and features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan. The structure is timber-framed and pebble-dashed, topped with a plain tiled roof that includes a 16th or 17th century axial chimney made of red brick. The building mainly has 20th century casement windows with three lights, and those on the ground floor have transoms. The three chamber windows have deep projecting cills, which may be remnants of early oriel windows, though they are currently obscured by pebble-dash. The entrance door, located at the cross-entry, is a four-panelled door from the 19th or 20th century.
The timber framing is largely hidden but includes notable features such as arch wind-braced close studding and a wind-braced clasped-purlin roof in the main range. There is a blocked open fireplace in the hall with a wide and deep lintel. The higher parlour block is slightly later and contains an original newel staircase with two flights. The attic retains its original structure, featuring a two-tier wind-braced side purlin roof with heavy reduced principal rafters; the upper tier of purlins is clasped while the lower tier is butted.
