Hillhouse Farmhouse

Hillhouse Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was extensively rebuilt in the late 18th and early 19th centuries by Thomas Baker. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone, with brick chimneys and a concrete plain tile roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and has an L-shaped plan.

The south front features a three-window arrangement, all of which are 12-pane sashes with plain timber architraves that include an applied timber-moulding bar. The central doorway has double three-panel doors and a rectangular light above with glazing bars. There is an off-centre gabled roof dormer that contains a small-paned casement window.

On the east end, there is a projecting verge to the gable, with a single 12-pane sash window on both the ground and upper floors, and a 6-pane window in the attic. The rear of the farmhouse includes a section with a catslide roof leading to a single-storey outshut, and another part with a low-pitch lean-to roof that has a doorway featuring a six-panel door and a flat stone porch hood supported by attenuated tapering stone pillars. The wing has a two-window east-facing arrangement, with casements on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above.

The west side has a scattered mix of fenestration, mostly consisting of casements with timber lintels. The interior has not been inspected. There is also a barn located in the farmyard, approximately 30 meters west of the house.
