Hill Farmhouse

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 16th century, with additions from the early 17th century. It features a rendered facade, random rubble construction, and a slate-hung half-hipped southeast elevation. The building has a slate roof and a large external stone stack to the right of the junction between the entrance block and the main block. There is another tall stone stack set into the wall to the right, which has a projecting bread oven made of cob and a slate roof as part of a single-storey lean-to along the facade.

The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan with three rooms and a cross passage facing east, along with an attached service block to the northwest. The entrance is now through the service block. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with first-floor three-light mullioned windows and a central door flanked by two-light windows, all featuring four-centred arch openings. The inner door is an early plank door. There is an outshut at the rear.

Inside, the farmhouse has jointed cruck trusses and two four-centred arch openings leading to the outshut, along with stop-chamfered beams. The projecting wing to the right of the main block has a two-light mullion window on its rear elevation and five-light casements on the main elevation. Due to the sloping ground, there is a cellar above ground at the southeast end, which features a fine late 16th-century studded door, protected by an external 20th-century porch. The interior also includes stud and panel partitions on either side of the central room, an eight-panel hollow chamfered ceiling, and a staircase located in the bay beside the fireplace in the outer room to the right. There are also a pair of exposed jointed cruck trusses at the southeast end.
