Description

Summary of Building

The remains of a C17 farmhouse and attached C18 barn, with standing C19 outbuildings to the south.

Reasons for Removing the Building from the List

Hilltown Farmhouse, dating from the C17 and possibly earlier, with C19 and C20 remodelling and repair; and the attached C18 barn and C19 outbuildings to the west, having suffered substantial fire and storm damage in 2017, are de-listed for the following principal reasons:

Lack of architectural interest: * the special interest and character of the farmhouse and attached barn has been severely compromised by the extensive loss of historic fabric; * the internal spatial arrangement and historic features and surfaces have been lost; * the standing C19 outbuildings to the south of the attached barn are not of sufficient special interest individually to retain their listed status.

Group value:

* the buildings’ historic relationship with the standing attached C19 outbuildings is not sufficient grounds to retain the farmhouse and attached barn on the List.
