Description
Standard Hill Farmhouse is an impressive house dated 1659, although it was refaced with red mathematical tiles around 1790. The main part of the building features three windows and three gables, while at the east end there is a recessed section, likely added in the 18th century, which includes one window and one gable. The entire structure has a tiled roof and stands three storeys tall, with casement windows. A modern porch with a pediment contains a bronze relief in the tympanum. There are two-storey bay windows on each side of the porch. The three original gables have small boards inscribed with the phrases "God's providence is my inheritance," "Except the Lord build a house they labour in vain that build it," and "Here we have 1659 our abidance."
