Hill Bark Farmhouse

Hill Bark Farmhouse is to the east of the house of Hill Bark, and south of the hamlet of Frankby, Wirral, England. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]

The farmhouse was built in 1875 for Septimus Ledward and designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[2] It was part of a model farm for Hill Bark.[3] The house is constructed in stone with some timber framing and has a tiled roof. It is built in five bays, three of which have two storeys and the other two are single-storey. At the rear is a round-ended projecting bay.[1] Outbuildings constructed at the same time, designed by Douglas, are also listed Grade II.[4]
