Castle Hill

Castle Hill is a house with origins dating back to the 16th century, which was encased and expanded in the mid-17th century and altered around 1985. The building features traces of an internal timber frame and is constructed from coursed rubble and coursed squared stone, topped with a stone slate roof. Originally T-shaped in plan, it has two storeys. The gable-end range facing the road has one wide bay and previously extended further to the rear. There is a single-cell addition set back on the left side, forming the shaft of the T.

The road front displays double-chamfered mullion windows throughout. On the right side, there is a 20th-century door in a plain stone surround next to a single chamfered light. On the left, there are windows that were originally three-light but are now two-light on each floor. The roof slopes lower on the right side and features chamfered ashlar coping with a head at the apex of the gable. A ridge stack is present.

The rear of the main range has been truncated around 1985 and now includes a door on the right, a two-light window on the left, and a three-light window above. An added bay on the right has first-floor windows of one and two lights, with the mullion removed. The left return has a two-light ground-floor window in the main range and a two-light window with a three-light window above to the right of the addition stack. The right return consists of three bays that step back to the right. The right bay features a 20th-century glazed door under a window lintel, with a 20th-century window on the right and a two-light window above, where the mullion has been removed. The central bay has a three-light window with a two-light window above, while the left bay has a blocked quoined doorway now fitted with a two-light flat-faced mullion window.

Inside, the ground floor reveals remains of the posts of one truss and the wall plate. On the first floor, there is one close-studded bay between the main range and the addition, featuring an angle brace to the wall post and wall plates. In the front room of the main range, which was formerly No 58, there is a chamfered quoined Tudor-arched fireplace, along with another fireplace in the room above that has a chamfered surround made of large stone blocks.
