Across the ridge to the west of North Farm lies aldbourne Warren.
As with Hellscombe cottage there's a cottage at aldbourne Warren that also sits snug to the base of the hill to their east. There must be some, most likely weather related, reason for this. Maybe it was close to water back in the day.
At this point, the escarpment behind the house is too steep for tractors so where the fields in the foreground are cultivated, the hillside is left for the sheep.
Again, taken in February 1988, there's a black-and-white version of this image below.
