Description
Castle Hill is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensive restoration in the 19th century. It features a painted square-panelled timber frame with painted rendered infill panels, and stone rubble extensions at the rear and sides. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have pierced ornamental bargeboards and finials at the gables. The house has a T-shaped plan, consisting of a main range with a cross wing and additional end and side extensions.
The exterior includes two storeys and a single storey plus an attic. The west front has an advanced gabled wing on the right side, which is two storeys high. The upper storey features a jettied and scalloped stop-chamfered bressumer supported by curved brackets, along with a single two-light casement window in a projecting frame with sill brackets. To the left, there are two bays with semi-dormers that break above the eaves, a canted bay window with a tiled pentice roof, and a doorway topped with a gabled weather-hood on pilaster brackets. There is also a two-storey stone rubble bay on the left side with a simple casement window. Throughout the building, there are 19th-century leaded lights.
On the south side, the elevation has three framed bays, with a central advanced bay that has a projecting framed casement window with sill brackets and a gable above. There is a framed projecting ground-floor porch with a canted lintel. Each side features a jettied bay, both with projecting mullioned and transom ground-floor windows and jettied upper storeys supported by scalloped stop-chamfered bressumers on console brackets. The upper storey is made up of square-framed panels with ornamental bracing that forms lozenge patterns. To the right, there is a two-storey stone rubble extension with a 20th-century casement window. The interior has not been inspected.
