Description

Hammermill Farmhouse is a former mill-house, likely built in the 17th century. The building features a timber-framed structure that has been refaced on the ground floor with weatherboarding, while the upper section is tile hung. It has a half-hipped tiled roof and stands two storeys tall. The facade includes three casement windows and a doorcase topped with a flat hood, leading to a door with five moulded panels.
