Torhill Farmhouse

Torhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with improvements and extensions made at the rear in the 19th century. It features granite rubble walls that are rendered at the front and sides, along with rendered stone axial and gable end stacks that include drip-courses. The right-hand lower gable and stack project and include an oven. The roof is made of Welsh slate, with gable ends and a catslide at the rear.

The layout likely consists of three rooms and a through passage, with small service rooms added at the rear extending the full length under a catslide roof. The original arrangement of the ground floor rooms is uncertain as the interior was inaccessible. If the front door is in its original position leading to the through passage, the lower room or kitchen would be in the more typical position of the inner room, accessed through the hall, while the inner room would be on one side of the passage. However, if the front door has been moved and its original position was at the lower right end of the hall, this would create the unusual feature of having the fireplace at the inner end of the room rather than backing onto the through passage.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a one-storey outshut at the rear and an attic. The asymmetrical front facing southeast has four windows, which are 19th-century casements with one, three, and four lights that include glazing bars. The right-hand first-floor window is from the 20th century. To the left of the center is a 19th-century glazed and panelled door, which has a corrugated iron canopy supported by old shaped brackets. There is a circular oven at the right gable end stack. The rear features three gabled dormer windows on the first floor above the outshut. The interior remains inaccessible, but despite the 19th-century modernisation, the early fabric of the house is still evident, and it likely contains original features that are currently concealed.
