Description
Hillhampton House is a house dating back to the 17th century, which was significantly altered and refaced in the 18th century and further extended in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, with sections rebuilt in brick and has a tiled roof. The house follows a roughly east-west plan, with projecting wings positioned on either side of a central porch. Tall external chimney stacks are present on the wings and in the main range.
The main elevation has two storeys and an attic, with gabled ends. The projecting wings have raised verge details and a parapet runs along the top of the main range. A three-storey central porch features a cornice and a hipped roof. Two continuous string courses decorate the north and south fronts. The windows are arranged in a pattern of two windows, one, one, one, one, and two, and are glazing bar sashes. A central semi-circular arched doorway has moulded jambs and an impost, and is fitted with a partly glazed door. Large external chimney stacks on the north and south facades have three rebuilt, diagonally-planned brick shafts joined together. The south return is characterised by three buttresses and three stone mullioned and transomed windows; a similar window remains on the north return.
The interior has not been inspected but is believed to contain a fine plaster ceiling with a geometric design and a 17th-century fireplace, as referenced in the Victoria County History.
