‘(28) 'HILLAMSLAND' (07079838), farm house, of two storeys with brick walls and a tiled roof, is of the early 17th century. The original range of the L-shaped plan, extending W.-E., is of class J; its entrance was on the S. About the middle of the 19th century a S. wing was added at the W. end of the range and the W. elevation then became the principal front; it has casement windows with four-centred heads in moulded stone surrounds with labels. The N. elevation retains original casement windows of two and three square-headed lights with ovolo-moulded timber surrounds. The original central chimney-stack has two diagonally set flues. Inside, the central and E. rooms of the 17th-century range have chamfered beams.’
