Hill Ash Farmhouse

Hill Ash Farmhouse is a farmhouse with its core dating back to the early 17th century. It features a two-bay lobby entrance house that runs east to west, surrounded by early 19th-century extensions. The farmhouse has primarily 20th-century windows and a 20th-century extension on the northeast side, built with matching materials. The exterior is constructed of clunch with red brick dressings, including a stringcourse, quoins, and a dentilled eaves cornice. Notably, the south front has tile hanging on the first floor, added around 1955. The roof is a modern hipped design with tiles and includes two brick chimneystacks from the original structure. The building is two stories high, and the front elevation features three enlarged metal-framed casement windows from the 20th century, along with a later 19th-century brick gabled weather porch. The north front retains some 19th-century casements.

Inside, the front room to the left of the porch has an early 17th-century massive moulded spine beam with a lambs tongue stop that has two cuts before the stop, which is quite unusual. There is also an early 19th-century six-panelled door and a rear room with a spine beam that has a two-inch chamfer with roll moulding and run-out stops, along with floor joists that have lambs tongue stops. The roof structure of the early 17th-century wing is considered to be of an earlier type than the rest of the building, although it has not been inspected. The 20th-century wing on the northeast side is not of special interest.
