Hillhouse Farmhouse (EHER 34413)

Hillhouse Farmhouse was built in the mid 16th century and altered in the late 16th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed, clad with red brick in Flemish bond, and roofed with handmade red clay tiles. It is formed of four bays facing NE, comprising a two-bay 'hall' with a late 16th century stack in the rear part of the left bay, a parlour/solar bay to the left, and a service bay to the right with an external stack at the end. This house was built in two storeys from the outset whilst retaining the typical 3-part medieval plan.
