Description
Harford Hills is a house built in the mid to late 19th century, designed in a Rustic Victorian Gothic style. The exterior is rendered with a thatched roof and features three red brick chimneys. The house has two storeys and four first-floor windows. The entrance includes a plank door with a plain overlight, set within a slate-roofed porch supported by round columns. To the left of the entrance is a two-light cusped window, and to the right is a canted single-storey bay with a lead roof and casement windows.
The garden front on the right has a three-window range with a projecting central bay flanked by tree trunks. The entrance features half-glazed double-leaf doors with Y-tracery and a drip mould, flanked by canted single-storey bay windows with cusped heads. The two-centred dormers have oculi with trefoils. There is another wing in a similar style with a first-floor verandah set back to the right. To the left of the entrance front, a glazed conservatory connects to a single-storey out-building that has a hipped slate roof and canted bay windows with cusped heads.
