Description

Hill House is a farmhouse dating from around 1700. It features a whitewashed brick facade and rear, with flint and brick gables, and has black glazed pantiled roofs. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays. It has four ground-floor and five first-floor wooden mullioned and transomed windows, which include cast iron opening casements. The entrance is a late 19th-century part-glazed door, topped with an iron pentice canopy supported by brackets. The central bay of the house projects forward from the facade. There is a brick plat-band on the first floor that is hipped above the door, where a former door-case pediment has been removed. The eaves cornice features brick dentils, and the building has parapeted Dutch gables with end stacks. The roof is steeply pitched, and the rear includes brick dovecote boxes. Inside, there is a ground-floor room to the north with an eight-panel arched door set in an architrave, complete with a central keystone and spandrels forming a rectangular frame. The ground floor rooms have shutters, and there is a dog-leg staircase from around 1700. Additionally, a whitewashed brick barn to the north, which has a dentil eaves cornice, cart doors, and a pantiled roof, is included for group value.
