Description
The Hill House is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century, which was reworked in the 18th and 19th centuries. The ground floor and the north gable end were rebuilt in 18th-century brick, while the rest of the building features colourwashed roughcast over a timber frame. The roof is made of clay tiles and is hipped to the northwest and southwest. The house is designed in a U-plan and consists of two storeys and attics.
The eastern elevation has a central block with the main entrance, which features a round-arched doorway beneath a round-arched hood that projects beyond brick supports on decorated brackets. This entrance replaces an earlier, larger gabled porch. The house has a variety of windows, including a hipped dormer, with most being 19th and 20th-century casements. The western elevation, which was refenestrated in the 19th century, includes two canted bays on the right side of the ground floor, casement windows elsewhere, and three hipped dormers. A red brick multiple ridge stack is located between the two right-hand bays, serving a substantial back-to-back hearth.
