Description
West Hill House is a mid-18th century house, later altered in the early 19th century, and now converted into flats. It is constructed of brick, rendered and colourwashed, with stone dressings and a hipped slate roof, featuring two rendered ridge stacks. The property has a plinth and moulded wooden eaves. The main facade is two storeys and five bays, forming a U-shaped plan. The central bay is emphasised by a doorcase with pilasters and a pediment, containing a glazed door with moulded panels, flanked by a triple-sashed window with glazing bars on either side. Above these are three glazing bar sashes, the central one being smaller. The left wing has a triple glazing bar sash and a single sash above, while the right wing features a large glazing bar sash and a smaller one above. The interior includes a stairwell with an enriched cornice and a dogleg winder stair with a scrolled handrail and stick balusters. The house is noted to have been the residence of James Hilton, brother-in-law of the painter de Wint.
