Description
This building, comprising numbers 1 and 3 Hill Street, serves as offices for a community centre. It dates from the mid to late 19th century, with a long, single-storey rear addition constructed in the 20th century. The building is constructed of grey gault brick and red brick, with composition dressings and a slate roof.
The rectangular plan includes two storeys and attics, as well as cellars. The north-facing front elevation is in a classical style, with three bays and a central gabled facade, featuring deep, modillioned eaves. Ridge stacks are positioned at the east and west ends, with diagonally set shafts. The central doorway has a panelled doorcase, an overlight with fretted glazing bars, and a 19th-century five-panel door with glazed upper panels. Windows are mainly sash windows with 3x4 panes, with a single window in the gable featuring 3x3 panes. The west-facing elevation is similar to the front, with a single sash window on the first floor (3x4 panes) and a single attic casement window (2x2 panes). Plain 20th-century casement windows feature on the ground floor. A large rectangular area of red brick is visible on the ground floor.
The rear, south-facing elevation is in a Gothic style. The ground floor has been replaced with 20th-century work. The first floor is of red brick, with three bays and a gabled facade. The windows have chamfered brickwork surrounds and labels, along with transoms and mullions. There are two 3-light casement windows and one 2-light casement, with glazing bars, 6x5 panes and 4x5 panes respectively. An attic window is present in the gable, featuring a 2-light, 4x4 pane casement, alongside a stone bust on a corbel. The eaves and bargeboards have cusped shaping and end pendants. The east-facing elevation is similar to the south, featuring a single window on both the ground and first floors, both being 3-light casement windows (6x4 panes), and shaped bargeboards with an apex bracket on a carved corbel.
The interior has been rebuilt in the 20th century and is now plain.
