Description

Hill Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century, with a rear wing that incorporates structures from the 16th to 17th centuries. The building features flint that has been knapped at the front, with narrow brick dressings. It has an old tile roof and a central chimney with grouped shafts made of narrow brick. The house is designed in a T-plan and has two storeys with an attic, consisting of 2½ bays.

The exterior includes an off-set plinth, a chequered brick band course at the first floor, brick quoins, and bonded window surrounds. The outer bays have 20th-century wooden cross windows with barred lights, and the ground floor windows feature chequered segmental heads. The central half-bay has a lobby entry with a four-panelled door and a similar segmental head, along with a narrow window panel above that is blocked with vitreous headers. The gable ends have 20th-century wooden casements on the main floors and in the attic. There is also a 20th-century conservatory at the rear of the left bay and a dairy in the rear right angle.

Inside, the ground floor left room has a stop-chamfered spine beam, and the rear wing contains some timber framing and heavy floor joists.
