Description

Lower Hill House is a farmhouse, originally known as Middle Hill Farmhouse, dating from 1669. It is constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof, featuring coped gables and end wall stacks. The building is two and a half storeys high and double-fronted. The front contains two dormer gables, each with a pair of 2-light recessed ovolo-mullion windows beneath hoodmoulds. The main floors have windows with hoodmoulds over 3-light casements, which replaced earlier mullion windows. A central 20th-century 6-panel door is set beneath a stone hood. Inside, the interior features chamfered and stopped spine beams with run-out stops, scratch-moulded joists, and a fine Tudor-arched, moulded fireplace on the east side, ornamented with fleur-de-lys stops and bearing the carved date 1669 in the spandrels.
