Smith Hill Farm

Smith Hill Farm is a farmhouse dating from the 18th century. It features colourwashed granite rubble walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. The building has two rendered rubble stacks, one axial and one at the right gable end. The plan consists of three heated rooms arranged in a row, with the left two rooms having back-to-back axial fireplaces. There is a direct entry, likely into the central room, although the partition between this room and the right-hand room has been removed. There is also an entry into the left-hand room, which may not be original. An outshut was added at the rear of the left-hand room in the 19th century.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has three windows, featuring 20th-century one and two-light casements in small openings. There is a 20th-century gabled porch towards the left end and a plank door to the right of centre. At the rear, there is an outshut to the right, and to the left of centre on the rear elevation is an original two-light window with a central square section timber mullion and leaded lights.

Inside, all three rooms retain their plain granite-framed fireplaces. The roof has 18th or 19th-century A-frame timbers. This farmhouse maintains a traditional three-room plan despite its later date and remains largely unaltered in a very isolated moorland setting.
