Description
Hill Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with an attached 18th-century bakehouse, located on Greenway Lane in Cold Ashton. The farmhouse is constructed of rubble, rendered and with stone dressings, featuring a pantiled roof with raised coped verges, kneelers, and gable stacks. The bakehouse has a slate roof. The front facade is symmetrical, displaying five windows. The ground floor has four cross windows, each with a bolection-moulded mullion and transom, an architrave, and six panes to the lower sections. The central door is of four panels with glazed upper sections, and is topped by a pitched-roof hood on a wooden frame. The first floor has two-light casements with similar surrounds, with eight panes to each light, except for the central window on the left side, which has plate glass. A continuous string course runs above the ground and first-floor windows. The single-storey bakehouse to the left has a single three-light casement with flat mullions. A two-light attic window with three panes on each side is present on the right return, alongside a corrugated iron lean-to. The left return has a matching attic window. The rear elevation has a catslide roof extending to ground level, with double Roman tiles at the lower part, and a later, straight jointed addition to the catslide roof. The interior is not accessible.
