Description

Hill Farm is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which was remodeled in the mid 19th century. It features rendered stone rubble and cob walls, with a hipped thatch roof and a gable-ended slate roof at the left-hand end. The building has a rendered brick gable end stack and two rendered rubble lateral stacks with brick shafts at the rear.

The plan has been somewhat altered but likely originally consisted of a three-room-and-through-passage layout, although the room partitions have been shifted, making it unclear which room was which. Currently, there are two rooms on the left, with a small 19th-century wing behind that end and a 19th-century outshut to the rear. To the right of these two rooms is an entrance and stair hall, with a larger room beyond. At the extreme right-hand end is a room that functions as an outbuilding. The two central rooms are heated by the rear lateral stacks.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical five-window front featuring 20th-century three-light casements. There are 20th-century French windows on the ground floor to the right and towards the left-hand end. A lean-to 20th-century porch is located to the left of centre, with early 19th-century glazed doors that have a decorative glazing pattern. The rear elevation includes a small wing at the right-hand end and two 19th-century outshuts. In the far end wall of the house, there is a door on the ground floor and a tiny original wood-framed arched light on the first floor.

The interior appears to have been much remodeled in the mid 19th century, as indicated by the panelled doors, Victorian fireplaces, and staircase. These features may conceal earlier elements, and there does not seem to have been much damaging alteration in the 20th century.
