Description
No. 5 Hillmorton Road is a mid-19th century house designed in the Gothic style. It features stone-dressed red brick and a Welsh slate roof with decorative bargeboards on the projecting gable to the left. The building has two storeys and a window arrangement of 1:2. The ground floor includes sash windows and a canted bay window on the left side. On the first floor, there are casement windows, with the central window being arched, while the outer windows have wooden mullions and transoms beneath drip moulds. This house is of historical interest as it was the birthplace of the poet Rupert Brooke in 1887.
