Description

Kingside Hill is a house, formerly a farmhouse, with associated outbuildings including a shippon and barn. It likely dates back to the 16th century in part, was modernised and extended in 1734, as indicated by a dated lintel, and has undergone later alterations along with a 20th-century extension to the rear. The walls are constructed of mud, sandstone, and brick, while the roofs are made of stone and Welsh slate.

Originally designed with a two-unit plan, the house now features a single room on the ground floor, with a kitchen to the right of the central entrance, which is heated by an inglenook, and a parlour to the left. The shippon, which includes a hayloft, is connected to the house and is built in cruck construction, resembling a longhouse. There is also a later barn, probably from the early 18th century, located at the rear.

The house is two low storeys high and has a three-window range with end stacks. The windows, which are all 20th-century, include one and two-light casements, although all window openings, except for the ground floor on the right, appear to be early. A renewed central porch leads to an 18th-century plank and stud door with strap hinges and the dated lintel from 1734. The shippon and haystore have a stone front wall that projects forward of the house and features brick patching, with two doorways and a hayloft. The left-hand return is made of rubble and includes ventilators and one doorway with a moulded stone canopy. The barn's farmyard elevation is made of brick and possibly dates to the early 18th century, featuring a perch of sandstone with a cranked timber lintel.

Inside the house and shippon, four (possibly full) cruck trusses are visible, halved and pegged at the apex with collars and erection haunches, likely predating the 1734 renovations. The ceiling beams on the ground floor of the house are roughly finished. The inglenook has been disturbed, but the parlour fireplace, which is made of stone and features bolection moulding and a moulded mantel shelf, remains in its original position. The barn contains principals, a collar, a tie, side purlins, and a ridge piece, all pegged.
