Description
Higher Bonehill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th or 17th century, and may be even older. It is constructed of granite rubble and features a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the left end. The farmhouse has granite ashlar chimneystacks with tapered tops located on the ridge, one off-centre to the left and the other on the right gable. The layout is likely a three-room and cross-passage plan, with a hall stack backing onto the passage; the lower end appears to have been used solely for domestic purposes.
The building is two storeys high and has a three-window front. All windows are 19th-century wood casements with either two or three panes per light. There is an open-fronted stone entrance porch with a slated pent roof, and the left side wall has a stone coping. Inside the porch, to the right, there is an old stone seat. The two ground-storey windows to the right of the porch have flat arches with tall, roughly-shaped granite voussoirs, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The interior has not been inspected.
