Halfe Hill House

Halfe Hill House is a late 17th-century farmhouse, later converted into a house. It was refenestrated in the late 18th century. The house is built of rubble with a roof of stone slate and pantiles. It is two storeys high and has four windows on the first floor. The windows have concrete lintels, ashlar sills, and renewed sash frames. A boarded door with wrought-iron strap hinges is set in an ashlar architrave, with a four-pane light vent to its right. A sash window with glazing bars is located above the door. Other first-floor windows are 20-pane sashes, with sash windows containing glazing bars in the fourth bay. A moulded rainwater hopper and lead pipe are positioned between the first and second bays. The lower courses of the roof are covered in stone slates, with pantiles above, and the roof has raised verges. Brick stacks are located between the first and second bays and at the right end. Inside, a ground-floor room to the left of the door contains two very large roughly chamfered first-floor beams, one of which may have originally been an ingle beam with a salt box and blocked fire window. In a first-floor room to the extreme left, a fragment of an older, lower roof-truss is visible, possibly a concave wind brace and sprocket, or a piece of a cruck blade.
