Description

Hill Farm Cottages is a former farmhouse that has been converted into two semi-detached houses. The building dates from before the 17th century, was extended in the 17th century, and underwent alterations in the 20th century. It features white painted brick-nogged timber framing with a stone plinth, a painted brick right gable, and a thatched roof. The structure is likely four bays long and one room deep, standing two storeys tall with much of the upper space within the roof.

On the front elevation, the left end has a long brace extending from the sill to the main corner post, with framing that is two panels high up to the eaves. To the right, there are two single-pane windows, a half-glazed 20th-century flush door, and two 20th-century casements alongside an older two-light casement. Above, there is a two-light casement set in a swept dormer. To the right, there is a cambered head to a former doorway and single panel framing that transitions to three panels high. A two-light 20th-century casement is present, with a similar one above in the gable that rises from the eaves, featuring V-struts in the apex. Further to the right, there is a half-glazed 20th-century door, with a brace from the corner post to the wallplate. The roof has a half-hip at the left end, with a brick chimney against the gable and another chimney on the ridge behind a blocked door, with the ridge slightly lower on the right side. The right return has been rebuilt in brick up to the eaves level, featuring a three-light late 20th-century window, with a timber-framed truss above and a three-light 20th-century casement in the lower half, while the upper part is covered with weatherboarding. The building is likely a three-bay house that was extended and lofted in the 17th century. The interior has not been inspected.
