Abstract:		 Hill House lies on high ground in open countryside approximately 500 m east of Burgate church. At the time of the tithe survey in 1840 it formed a large tenanted holding of 159 acres; the farmhouse was shown on the tithe map together with eight detached outbuildings, of which four 17th century structures survive. The grade II-listed farmhouse is a substantial property of Yeoman or minor-gentry status, the most complete and important domestic house on the site was built as a 'unit house' for the accommodation of semi-independent family members. The house was converted into a granary circa 1800 but its frame remained largely intact and contains evidence of a central chimney and south-facing lobby entrance with a hall and parlour of equal proportions on each side. It retains original ceilings on both the ground and upper storeys, together with a clasped-purlin roof. The building was of good quality but at just 10.7 m in length (35 ft) it was unusually compact. The five-bay barn to the north of the site is also of considerable interest as a sophisticated multi-purpose example which combined a three-bay threshing barn with separate stables. A small detached stable adjacent to the barn is also a rare survival with externally trenched wall braces and evidence of a hay loft. Both the barn and the stable have been much altered and fail to meet the English Heritage for individual listing, but the granary merits listing at grade II.
