Description
The Hill Farmhouse, also known as Graig Farm or The Graig, is a two-storey building constructed from thinly coursed rubble stone, topped with a corrugated asbestos and composition slate roof featuring a tile ridge. The northwest front of the farmhouse faces down the hill slope and is flanked by a late 17th century or early 18th century house on the right and an 18th century wing on the left. The roof line of the 18th century wing is slightly lower, and it has stone end stacks.
On the first floor of the wing, there are four tall 2-light windows with wooden frames that include slender centre mullions and iron casements fitted with small rectangular leaded lights. The ground floor features two similar 3-light windows. The adjoining 17th century house has a roof without tiles and a brick gable stack. Its windows are 2-light transoms, with two on the first floor having plain heads and two on the ground floor featuring flat, skewback lintels with stone voussoirs. Midway between the floors on the left side is a similar transom, and at the far left is an entrance doorway with a timber lintel.
The northeast gable of the farmhouse has two blocked windows in the upper wall and a 2-light mullion with wooden stanchions on the ground floor. The southwest elevation includes a ground-floor doorway with a segmental arch made of stone voussoirs, leading to 19th century double doors with upper panels glazed and narrow marginal side-panes. To the right, there is a blocked doorway from the 16th century screens passage, which has monolithic jambs and a head formed by arched stone slabs. A similar blocked doorway on the opposing wall has an inserted 2-light window.
The interior was only partly accessible during the resurvey, but it contains the remains of a fine 18th century quarter-turn staircase with landings. This staircase features a closed string, turned balusters, square newel posts with attached half balusters, and a moulded handrail along with dado panelling. The ground floor of the 18th century wing has an arched vault at the service end.
