Description

Kitehill Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with an H-shaped plan, featuring two wings connected by a later section that was likely refronted in the early 19th century. The building has two storeys and an attic with gabled ends, and it originally had a painted red brick exterior with grey headers. There are six windows in total, with casement windows throughout, except for the ground floor of the central section, which has sash windows with intact glazing bars. The central portion includes a stringcourse, large modern windows on the first floor, and a gabled porch that features a semi-circular fanlight with pointed Gothic panes and a six-panel moulded door. The west side has three buttresses, and the back of the house is partly tile hung. A chimney stack is topped with a half stepped gable.
