Description
Hook Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th to early 17th century, with later enlargement in the 18th century and alterations in the 20th century. The building is roughcast over rubble, with the end two bays slightly projecting. It features a thatched roof and rendered stone stacks at the gable ends and to the right of the cross passage. The farmhouse has a very long facade and is one and a half storeys high, comprising seven bays.
The early 20th-century features include two-light dormer casements, with two eyebrow dormers on the first floor to the left of the entrance. There is a full-height canted bay window and one window below the eaves on the left, along with a dormer and two additional windows in the section that breaks forward. On the ground floor, there are three windows to the left of the entrance, one to the right of the canted bay, and two 20th-century plate glass windows beyond. A stair turret with an early 19th-century leaded two-light iron casement is attached to the left return. The entrance features a plank door with a flat-roofed porch supported by shaped brackets. The interior has not been viewed but is said to contain chamfered beams with enriched stops and a cruck roof.
