Hampton Hill, also known as the Bennet-Search House, is a historic home located at Richboro, Northampton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The first section was built about 1744, and is a 2 12-story, two-bay by one-bay, stone house with a gable roof. The larger section was built about 1790, and is a 2 12-story, three-bay by two-bay, stone house with a gable roof. The roof was covered with slate in the 20th century.
