Description
Martin's Hill is a farmhouse that was originally two cottages, dating from the 16th or 17th century. The building is constructed of whitewashed rendered rubble and cob, topped with a thatch roof featuring a brick stack at the gable end. It likely started as a three-room structure with a through-passage plan, but the original layout has been obscured by later alterations that converted it into two cottages.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window range of 19th-century casements with three lights on the left side. The rest of the windows are mainly scattered and consist of two-light casements. A 20th-century porch with a slated monopitch roof has been added. There is a casement window at the upper end that was inserted into a blocked doorway. At the rear, there is a two-light ovolo-moulded mullion, while the rest of that side is enclosed by a pantiled outshut.
Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams in two rooms at the upper end, as well as a fireplace lintel from the demolished stack. A single truss with heavy straight principals is present over the upper end, but there is no access to the roof space.
