Description
Hill Road features a group of four attached cottages, built around 1889 by Douglas & Fordham. These cottages are constructed from stone-dressed red-brown brick with blue diaper patterns and have red tile roofs. The symmetrical group is arranged in a 1½ storey layout around a rectangular garden forecourt, with two cottages at the rear and one on each side, all linked by a pentice roof that creates a loggia on the inner face of each wing.
The rear cottages have a steep hipped roof topped with a central chimney that has four spirally moulded brick flues. Each of the rear cottages features two shaped dormer gables, while the side cottages have shaped gables facing the road. Each wing cottage has a shaped chimney positioned at the ridge center. The doors to Nos. 1 and 4 are framed and boarded, and they retain ornate wrought iron hinges.
At the rear, there are hip-roofed wash and coal houses connected to the cottages by brick walls adorned with ornate copings and finials. The window openings are designed with bevelled mullions set in birdsmouthed bevelled surrounds, holding iron casements with rectangular leaded glazing. The interiors have not been inspected.
