Middle Hill Farmhouse

Middle Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The front facade is of 18th-century ashlar, constructed from carefully cut and squared limestone, with gable ends and a rear wall also of limestone. The original left-hand section, dating to the 17th century, is built of coursed squared and dressed limestone. The roof is of limestone slate with flat coping to the gable ends. An 18th-century block was added to the right of the original ‘L’ shaped farmhouse. The 17th-century part is two storeys and has a garret; the 18th-century addition is two storeys and has an attic, with two dormers lighting the roof, both with 20th-century wooden casements. The 17th-century section has a 1:1 window arrangement, with two- and three-light stone mullioned casements on the first floor and in the garret. Twelve-pane sashes are present on the ground floor. The 18th-century part has three 12-pane sash windows with moulded architraves and bull-nosed sills. The ground floor windows have beaded surrounds. All sash windows feature 2cm-wide glazing bars. A central six-panel door, with its upper panels glazed, sits within a plain surround with beaded moulding, and is sheltered by a flat wooden canopy. The rear wall has three-light stone mullioned windows.
