Description

Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 19th century, possibly incorporating earlier materials. It is constructed of coursed stone and features a pantile roof with coped gable ends and brick stacks. The building has two storeys and a north front with a 1:3 window arrangement. To the left, there is a bay with a lower roof, and the windows are 19th-century three-light casements with glazing bars, stone sills, and cambered stone arches. The doorway, located to the right of centre, has a cambered stone arch and a plank door. At the rear, there are small casements and a plank door, both with flat stone arches.
