Hill Mount

Hill Mount is a house built around 1840, with later 19th-century alterations at the rear. The building features painted brick with a stuccoed front and a Welsh slate roof, which has a gable at the front and gabled ends. The deep gable verges are adorned with ornate openwork wavy bargeboards and finials, while the gable end stacks are rendered brick.

The house has a two-room plan in the front range with a central entrance, and the lower back range likely originally contained service rooms and appears to have been heightened. Access to the basement is from the left side of the building.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an attic and basement. The symmetrical north front has three windows. The central doorway features a panelled and glazed door within a reeded doorcase and a wooden lattice porch. This is flanked by canted bay windows, one with 16-pane sashes and the other with 8-pane sashes. On the first floor, there are two 16-pane sashes and one canted 12-pane sash set in moulded stucco architraves, with the central window having a cornice on console brackets. There are also two smaller windows in the gables with moulded architraves and 6-pane casements.

In the left angle with the rear range, there is a small glazed cantilevered conservatory featuring glazing bars, a tinted roof, and glazed double doors, along with a basement door and window below. On the west side, there are two gabled bays, with the narrower right bay (the rear range) having a two-storey canted brick bay window.

Inside, much of the original joinery remains, including a dog-leg staircase, panelled doors (some with five panels), and 19th-century fireplaces, grates, and simple chimneypieces in the rooms. The right-hand front and rear rooms have been combined into one larger space.
