Hollin Hill Farmhouse

This is a farmhouse, dating to 1712 and altered subsequently. It is constructed of roughly-coursed mixed rubble, mainly blue ragstone, with sandstone quoins and dressings, and has a graduated green slate roof. The building follows a double-depth, double-fronted plan.

The exterior features two storeys and originally three windows, formerly symmetrical, distinguished by prominent stone-slate courses over both floors. The ground floor includes a gabled porch with a wooden lintel and a stone-slate drip-band, housing a square datestone reading "E B / 1712." A double-layered oak door, held by strap hinges, sits within a square-headed doorway. To the left of the porch is a six-pane double-hung sash window, followed by a two-light window with three panes to each light and the topmost pane opening as a double-hung sash. Two similar two-light sashes are on the right. The first floor is similarly arranged, with another two-light sash and a six-pane double-hung sash to the left, a larger three-light sash to the right and a blocked window to its right. An iron gutter is supported by slender metal brackets approximately 40cm below the overhanging eaves. Gable chimneys feature stone-slate weather courses and coupled cylindrical shafts; the chimney on the right corbelled from the first floor. A full-height lean-to structure, formerly a peat-house, is attached to the left gable, incorporating a through-passage doorway and a window to the left.

The rear elevation features a lean-to porch offset to the right, partially integrated with a deeper 19th-century lean-to outhouse, both roofed with massive stone slabs. A chamfered, single-light window with an iron saddle-bar (now obscured by the outhouse) is at ground floor level. Above the outhouse is a tall, two-stage stair window with small panes, and two oblong, small-paned windows on each floor, each with a single opening pane and a wooden lintel.

The interior retains wooden panelled partitions on both floors, including a screen to the smokehood on the first floor. All partitions are muntin-and-plank, except the one to the parlour, which is muntin-and-rail. Features include chamfered beams, a smokehood bressumer, a large mid-18th century stone fireplace with a corbelled lintel, a dog-legged stone staircase with a closed string, square newels, and turned balusters, and a collar-truss roof. The property forms a group with an attached barn.
