Farmhouse Now Used As Store Shed Approximately 100 Metres North West Of And On Opposite Side Of Road To Hill Farmhouse

This building is a farmhouse, now used for farm storage, located approximately 100 meters northwest of Hill Farmhouse, on the opposite side of the road. It dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 20th centuries. The structure is built of stone rubble and cob, with the facade rebuilt in breeze blocks and rendered. It features a corrugated iron roof with gable ends and a large stone rubble chimney stack that has a drip and tapered cap, along with a rounded bread oven projection topped with a slate canopy.

Originally, the building was an open hall house, which may have extended further south. After the insertion of floors and a chimney stack in the 17th century, it was remodeled into a two-cell cottage. The building is two stories high and has a two-window range of four-paned fixed lights, as well as a similar window with removed glazing bars to the right of a plank door.

Inside, the chimney breast on the bread oven side has been partially infilled, but a large chamfered timber lintel with scroll-stopped chamfers remains. The beams at each end and in the center also feature scroll-stopped chamfers. The replaced roof covering and purlins are supported by a heavily smoke-blackened raised cruck truss, which has a slightly cranked collar that is lap-jointed and pegged to the blades, which have trenches for two tiers of purlins. Above the first floor level, the truss was later closed with a lath and plaster partition, of which almost half still survives. A large opening at the lower gable end of the first floor has been infilled.
