Description

Peel O'Hill is a farmhouse that was formerly a bastle house, likely built in the late 16th century, with later additions dated and inscribed over the rear window by W. and R. Routledge in 1811. The building features whitewashed stone rubble on projecting plinth stones and large flush quoins, topped with a Welsh slate roof and stone end chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower two-storey, two-bay extension to the right and a single-storey outbuilding to the left.

The original house has extremely thick walls and 18th-century fenestration, although details of the original windows are not visible. It includes a large central casement window flanked by smaller casement windows, one of which is a fire window with a chamfered surround. The upper floor windows are single-pane sashes. The end wall of the original house, now internal, features a boiler recess that may indicate the original ground floor entrance. The extension to the right has a 20th-century door, a casement window to the right, and single-pane sash windows above. The listing excludes farm outbuildings.
