Old Kingshill Farmhouse

Old Kingshill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1643 on the center front gable, though it may have an earlier origin. The building has undergone some 20th-century alterations. It features whitewashed rubble, with some parts rendered, and a double Roman tiled roof with a stone ridge and gable stacks, which was formerly thatched. The layout is a former through passage plan, with a T-plan formed by a wing at the front and a former dairy extending from the main range.

The farmhouse is 1 and a half storeys tall. The ground floor has three 3-light casement windows, with the center one having been a door. Above, there are three uneven small gables, each with 3-light casements, all of which are 20th-century replacements. The left wing has a 3-light casement and a 20th-century door in an ovolo-moulded frame, which has been cut back for the passage of barrels and filled in. The front end of the wing is rendered and includes a single stair light. The right return is rendered, while the left return of the wing has a 2-light casement and a raking 2-light dormer. The front of the main range features a 3-light casement and a similar dormer, with a small 2-pane light at ground level on the gable end.

At the rear, there is one 2-light and two 3-light casements to the right, along with a similar 3-light dormer and a roof light. To the left, there is a 20th-century single-storey addition that encloses the former rear passage door, with the roof extended from the pitch of the main roof and a 3-light casement on the right side, plus a door.

Inside, the ground floor has chamfered and stopped beams throughout. The room to the right features a cambered chamfered lintel above the fireplace and a stone newel stair at the end. The former passage had a straight stair, which is now open to the room, and there is a round arched door to the left with early pintles remaining. The center room, which has a foreplace with a ridge stack, includes a chamfered flat lintel and a possible smoking chamber to the left. The front wing has a door with strap hinges leading to a 20th-century replacement newel stair at the gable end. The first floor has a chamfered and stopped frame to the door over the former dairy, with a 2-bay roof over each room. The room to the right has principal rafters and a collar, with one row of purlins on the rear slope.
