Description
Hill House is an 18th century yellow brick house, with plaster on the west front. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-window arrangement on both the west and east fronts. The west front includes a curved oriel bay window on the first storey at the south end, with a five-light window below it. The east front also has a three-window range, highlighted by a large four-light curved bow window in the centre that rises through two storeys, complete with a wood cornice and ornamental frieze. The ground storey on the east front features a 20th century French window, while the remaining windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars in flush cased frames. The roofs are covered with 20th century interlocking tiles and include one flat-headed dormer on the west front.
