Description
Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, probably from the 17th century, featuring a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. It has two storeys and attics, constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior. The roof is covered with double-Roman pantiles and was once thatched. Beneath both gables, there are large console brackets. The axial chimney has a shaft that was rebuilt in 19th century gault brick. The windows are mid-19th century small-pane sashes, and there is a battened and boarded door at the lobby-entrance position. The interior has not been examined.
