Description
Friars Hill Farmhouse and the attached barn date from the late 18th century, with an extension added in the 19th century. The building is constructed of dressed sandstone, while the extension is made of dressed limestone. It features a pantile roof with brick stacks. The original layout was an end lobby-entry plan, with a service extension added later.
The farmhouse is two stories high and has a two-window front, along with a lower two-story, single-window extension and barn to the right. The entrance is located at the rear. The main front windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills. The ground-floor left window has a plain painted lintel, while the other windows feature painted flat arches with a fasciated keyblock. The gables are coped, and there are shaped kneelers and end stacks.
In the extension and barn, all windows are 2-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sashes with timber lintels. At the rear, there is a 6-panel door beneath a flat arch leading to the house, and a nail-studded plank door to the extension. The house was unoccupied at the time of the resurvey.
