Description
Hill Farmhouse is a house from the 17th century, possibly with an earlier core, and features a 19th-century addition. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a main roof covered in concrete tiles at the front and clay pantiles at the rear. The house has a three-unit plan, with a projecting wing at the front and a cross wing at the rear. It stands two storeys tall and has a varied arrangement of single- and two-light casement windows. The facing gable of the wing includes a four-panel door. The rear side has additional small windows and doors, along with some exposed wattle and daub panels. There are brick stacks: one at the front wing, a ridge stack in the main range behind it, and a large projecting stack at the rear cross wing. The interior, which has only been partially inspected, features chamfered bridging beams on the ground floor and two 19th-century cast-iron grates, one being a small range and the other with an eared wooden surround and a cupboard door to the right with HL hinges.
