Description

Hill Rise is a farmhouse and barn dating from the mid-18th century. It features limestone rubble walls with flush red sandstone quoins, while the front is covered in painted render. The building has a graduated greenslate roof with cement rendered chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has two bays, with a short barn on the right under a common roof. There is an off-centre 20th-century door set in a painted stone surround. The windows are 20th-century casements with flat stone mullions removed, except for the three-light window to the left of the entrance, which retains its mullions. There is also a blocked two-light flat stone-mullioned window in front of the barn. The right return wall of the barn features a partly-blocked segmental sandstone archway that is now fitted with 20th-century garage doors.
