Kingshill Farmhouse

Kingshill Farmhouse is a historic house located in Elmley, known for its association with James II, who was brought here by Sir Edward Hales on December 12, 1688, while attempting to escape from England before being captured on the River Swale. The current structure, however, dates from a later period, with the north wing featuring the date 1757 scratched into a brick. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic, constructed of red brick and topped with a tiled roof that includes three hipped dormers and a modillion eaves cornice. The first floor has three casement windows, while the ground floor features hung sash windows with glazing bars. The entrance has a doorway with a flat hood supported by brackets. The south wing was built in the 19th century and is made of buff bricks.
