Hillside Farmhouse

Hillside Farmhouse is an early 18th-century building that stands two storeys high with an attic. The north front features a symmetrical arrangement of windows with three in the centre and one in each of the forward extending wings, which are of unequal size. The roof is covered with red tiles and has hips, along with a moulded cornice. The east wing has a lower eaves line and mouldings above a plain soffit, and there are two gabled dormers with old leaded windows and moulded eaves and verges.

The walls are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring a first-floor band and rubbed flat arches on the ground floor of the east wing, with cambered openings elsewhere and a plinth. The windows are sashes in exposed frames, with inner folding shutters. A fine wooden doorcase is designed in a full Doric order, complete with an open pediment and a broken entablature above fluted pilasters. It includes a round-headed fanlight with a curved design, panelled reveals, and a six-panelled door, all accessed via two stone steps.

Inside, the inner facing walls of the wings have painted windows set in recessed panels. The other elevations of the farmhouse are less regular and have been partly altered, but they feature two notable leaded mullion and transom windows on the first floor. The east wing extends beyond the rear wall and appears to be older, as indicated by the blue headers in the red brickwork.
