Description
Hill House is a house from the early to mid-19th century, featuring a painted brick facade and a hipped grey slate roof with chimney stacks on both the right and left sides. The building has two storeys, with four windows on the first floor and three bays on the ground floor, each adorned with moulded friezes above. The windows are vertically sliding sashes with glazing bars. An off-centre two-panelled door with a light is topped by a moulded cornice that supports a flat canopy. The entrance is enhanced by an iron trellis porch. The house has good group value within its setting.
