Hill Farm is a classic redbrick farmhouse with a paddock and agricultural shed, set in a peaceful rural position just outside the village of Burwardsley.

The kitchen has fitted units to base and wall level, as well as space for the necessary appliances, with further storage available in the pantry. The rear entrance is covered by a glazed porch, and walking under a feature brick archway, the external work room with a former wash copper built into the corner can be accessed to the left, while to the right is the kitchen.
