Description

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with 19th-century additions and a partial remodel by G. Birdwood Willcocks in the late 1930s. The building is constructed of regularly coursed limestone rubble with an ashlar front and features artificial stone slate roofs with coped verges. It has a basic T-plan layout, consisting of a three-unit baffle-entry main range and a slightly later rear range, which has late 19th-century single-storey additions attached to the left gable end of the main range and at an oblique angle to the rear range. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic.

The main range has a slightly irregularly spaced three-window front, featuring chamfered three-light mullions with dripstones and 1930s leaded lights. There are infilled openings on each floor to the right of the left windows, which previously had two-light mullion windows. The roof slope includes three 20th-century gabled dormers situated in the middle. The entrance is located to the right of the central window, complete with a dripstone and a 20th-century plank door. The ridge stack is positioned directly above the entrance, with integral end stacks to the left and right, all featuring dripstones and moulded capping.

The right gable end has chamfered rectangular windows with dripstones on the first floor and attic. The back wall has a three-light mullion window with moulding similar to those at Chastleton House on the ground floor, along with a similar window on the right wall of the rear range, also on the ground floor, both equipped with dripstones.

Inside, the farmhouse has been significantly altered since the 1930s. The room to the left of the entrance, which was formerly two rooms, has boxed cross beams and an open fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel on the right wall, along with an infilled inglenook fireplace on the left. There is a chamfered spine beam on the ground floor of the rear range. The 1930s addition in the angle to the rear on the right is not of special architectural interest.
