Farmhouse, now house with adjoining shippon and detached kitchen. Farmhouse C16.

rubble and cob with asbestos slate roof, shippon and detached kitchen of rubble with
slate roofs. House has stack heating inner room at left gable end and large axial
stack with drip backing onto through-passage in well preserved 3 cell open hall
plan. No division between passage and lower end, which may have been the byre of a
longhouse, originally open to the roof. The hall remarkably still remains open to
the roof while the inner room appears to have been floored over in C17. Single
storey hall between each end with attic storey. 3-window range to south-side. C20

under a single narrow slated lean-to canopy. Through-passage doorway to right with
C19 doorframe and plank door with middle rail. 2 rounded rubble projections to
rear, the smaller one for bread oven to axial stack, the large one to eaves height
is the stair turret, both later additions.
C17 stair turret doorway in hall has thin chamfered jambs and segmental head. Roof
is carried on 2 pairs of partially exposed raised crucks with trenched purlins.
Shippon adjoins at lower gable end, converted into part of dwelling. Stone buttress
at left end and external stone steps to front with C20 windows inserted in door
opening on each floor. Detached kitchen to rear with former byre at left gable end
both now converted into single dwellings, joined to Hill House by courtyard walls of
rubble. Short brick shaft at right gable end to rubble stack with pronounced
batter. Courtyard side has openings above and to left of plank door. South-side
has 3-window range of C20 casements and buttress towards upper end. (E. Mercer,
English Vernacular Houses, 1975).
