Description

Halton Hill Farm House is an early 19th century farmhouse that incorporates elements from the 17th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay building with a T-shaped plan, constructed from random whinstone rubble, featuring stone cills and some dressed quoins. The house has stone mullions.

On the southeast elevation, there is a piended porch located in the re-entrant angle at the center, which has a panelled timber door and a letterbox fanlight. To the right of the porch, there is a window on the return and a small window above it on the first floor. The outer right bay has a window on each floor, while the left side features an advanced, slightly taller piended bay with windows at the center and on the return to the right.

The southwest elevation has a small window at the center of the ground floor and a bipartite window in the left bay, with a garden wall abutting the outer right. On the first floor, there is a window at the center below a chimney gablet, a window in the right bay, and a small window to the left.

The northwest elevation features an advanced gable to the right with a small casement window at ground level and a smaller window to the right of center above it. There is also a further first-floor window on the return to the left, while the recessed face has asymmetrical fenestration with all small windows.

On the northeast elevation, there is a window at the center of each floor. The windows have various glazing patterns, including 4-, 6-, 8-, and 12-pane configurations in timber sash and case. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks, with the southwest stack being harled. Thackstanes are present on the southeast, northwest, and northeast elevations, along with ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, the southwest sitting room features exposed ceiling and wall beams, along with some boarded timber shutters. There is a small vaulted area at the northwest, which was not viewed in 1996.

The property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
