Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, with alterations made around 1930. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. It is timber-framed and clad in hardboard sheeting, which was once plastered. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, although it was originally pantiled. There is an axial chimney made of 18th-century red brick and a 19th-century gable chimney on the left side. The windows are small-pane steel casements from around 1930, and there is a plaintiled entrance porch from the same period, featuring a boarded and battened door. Inside, the farmhouse has complete and interesting oak framing that is exposed throughout. Each storey post has a well-formed scrolled jowl at its head. The interior also includes good chamfered main beams and on-edge floor joists, as well as back-to-back lintelled open fireplaces.
