Description

Hill House Cottage is a late 18th-century house, altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of painted brickwork with a roof of 19th-century red clay tiles. The building has a parallelogram plan, with its main axis running roughly east to west, and its street-facing elevation extending north to south. An internal chimney stack is located south of the ridge, and another is in the north wall near the northwest corner. The roof is hipped to the west and half-hipped to the east. The house is two storeys high. The street elevation features a blocked central doorway; a 20th-century oriel window to the north of the doorway, and a 20th-century casement window to the south. On the first floor are two early 19th-century double-hung sash windows, each with 12 panes of glass. A string course runs along the front, and there are dentils below the eaves. The interior features plain chamfered transverse beams with simple concave stops. The south elevation includes a 20th-century half-glazed door with a tiled, bracketed hood, alongside scattered windows.
