Description
Hillview is an early 19th-century building that began as two cottages, later combined into a single house. It is constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone with a graduated stone slate roof. The original design comprised two one-room cottages with attic rooms, to which a lean-to extension was added to the rear at a later date. Quoins are present. The cottages originally featured doors in the right-hand bay of each side, although the left-hand door is now blocked. Each bay retains a two-light, flat-faced mullion window with a 20th-century casement. Ridge and gable chimney stacks are visible. Gable-lights illuminate the attic rooms, and a small, later dormer window is situated at the rear. The building is notable for the survival of its unusually small original plan.
