Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a house dating from 1605, as indicated by a carved brick sunk panel in the chimney. It features a 2-cell lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys high with attics and four windows. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with thatched roofs. It has an axial chimney made of red brick with two diagonally-set square flues. The early 19th-century wrought iron casements and a boarded entrance door from the 19th century add to its character. A right-hand block was added in the late 17th century, while a rear service wing, which is 1½ storeys, was added in the 18th century and later altered and encased in flint rubble with red brick quoins in the 19th century. The main range features a clasped-purlin roof that is wind braced, with stout cambered collars, and retains an original newel staircase in two stages located behind the chimney stack.
