Description
Hamhill House is a detached house with a later 19th-century facade that covers an 18th-century building. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, and features one brick patch on the south side. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, and there are stone chimney stacks. The house has an 'L' plan, is two storeys high, and has a three-bay east elevation.
The building has a plinth and an eaves course in parts, with sash windows in plain openings. The upper storey features 16-pane sash windows, while the lower storey has later three-light composite sashes without glazing bars. Above the central porch, which is open and supported by two pairs of fluted Doric columns with a plain entablature, there is a simple square oriel window. The porch frames a part-glazed door with a rectangular fanlight above.
On the south side, there is a single-storey angled bay window with a hipped roof. The north elevation has three bays of architraved windows, with the first bay being blind. The second lower bay features a keystoned semi-circular arch, which was formerly a doorway, along with 12-pane sash windows. There is also a garage lean-to, which has a blocked segmental-arched opening with a beaded ashlar surround in its west wall.
In the main west wall of the house, there is a pointed-arched stair window with a Y-traceried 16-pane sash. To the right of this window is a three-light chamfer-mullioned window in a wave-mould recess, followed by a small projection with 16-pane sash windows. The interior has not been seen. The property remained with the Duchy of Cornwall until the mid-20th century.
