Hillsborough Farmhouse

Hillsborough Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of slate stone rubble, with the front elevation painted on the ground floor and slate hung above. The roof is made of cement washed slate with gable ends, featuring brick stacks at both ends and a brick stack at the rear right.

The farmhouse retains its original early 18th-century layout, which includes a central through passage and two reception rooms at the front, both heated by end stacks. The service rooms are located at the rear in an integral outshot, with a dairy on the left and a kitchen on the right. A staircase is positioned on the right side of the passage, rising in a tower above the rear catslide roof.

The building has two storeys and a symmetrical three-window front. On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century four-pane sash windows in segmental arched openings, flanking a central 19th-century stone-rubble porch with a rag slate gabled roof. The porch features a part-glazed late 19th or early 20th-century door. The first floor has three 20th-century casements in the original openings.

The interior appears largely unaltered, although it has not been fully inspected.
