Description

Winchendon Hill Farmhouse is a 17th-century house that has been altered over time. It is constructed of rubblestone with 18th-century brick extensions at the rear and features old tile roofs that are hipped on the right side. The house has three bays and one and a half storeys, with cellars included.

The south front showcases a central four-panel door with a three-pane fanlight above, all set within a high-quality Doric doorcase that includes fluted pilasters and an entablature with a triglyph frieze. There are cellar windows, and the ground floor has three-light casements beneath segmental brick arches with brick jambs. The house also features three gabled dormers with two lights each, a left-hand gable stack, and a right or east elevation that mirrors the south front with three bays, a north gable stack, and a stack between the left bays.

Inside, the farmhouse retains some reused 17th-century panelling, enriched dado-rails, and doors, which are believed to have originated from the old Eythrope House. The interior also includes chamfered and stopped spine beams and an inglenook fireplace.
