Description
Top O' the Hill is a house from the early to mid 19th century, now divided into two separate homes. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a double pile design and quoins. The north-facing gable includes three doorways with tie-stone jambs, and above them are three 2-light flat faced mullioned windows on the first floor, along with a 2-light window in the attic. The left-hand return wall has four symmetrical bays of windows, with the centre two bays each containing six lights, flanked by two lights on each floor. The right-hand return wall has similar windows. The rear, south-facing gable features two doorways with 2-light windows situated between them on each floor and at the apex. There are two stacks at the ridge.
