Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid-17th century with later additions and alterations. It is built of roughly coursed limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The building has a basic L-plan with a slightly later range to the rear on the left, which features a catslide outshut on the left side. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window front. Originally, it had three-light mullion windows, but these have been replaced with 19th-century casements directly below the eaves, and there is one casement to the lower left with a dripstone. There are 19th-century casements on either side of a 20th-century door located to the right of centre, with the left casement and door situated under a late 20th-century conservatory, which is not of special architectural interest. A gabled three-light dormer is present in the roof slope to the left. The internal end stacks have purple engineering brick shafts. The rear range cuts through the label-stop of a former three-light mullion window, which has a 19th-century casement inserted in the back wall. Inside, there are chamfered spine beams in the ground-floor rooms, with the front left room (originally two rooms) also featuring exposed joists and a winder staircase to the right of an infilled inglenook that once continued to the attic. There is a corner fireplace in the rear range. A low 20th-century range links the farmhouse with a formerly detached outbuilding at the front, which is not of special architectural interest.
