Description
Hill House is a house built around 1840, with extensions added in the late 19th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond gault brick, featuring a stuccoed plinth and entablature with a cornice and blocking course. The roof is hipped, made of concrete tiles and slate, and there are gault brick axial stacks. The house has a square double-depth plan, with a front room on either side of a central entrance hall that leads to an antechamber and a large room at the back. A small winder staircase rises from the left side of the hall. The late 19th-century service wing on the left side largely replaces earlier service areas.
The exterior is two storeys high, with a three-bay northeast front. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features tall 15-pane sashes with cills at floor level and gauged brick flat arches. The central doorway is framed by a stuccoed architrave and cornice on console brackets, with a raised panel above and a rectangular overlight with glazing bars. The door itself is panelled. There is a one-bay, three-storey late 19th-century extension on the left with smaller 12-pane sashes. The northwest and southwest elevations are similar, with the northwest featuring a large 15-pane sash in a central architrave like that of the front doorway. The southwest elevation lacks a central feature but has a fourth bay slightly set back on the right with a later ground floor bay window.
Inside, much of the original joinery remains, including panelled doors with moulded architraves and carved corner blocks, as well as panelled window shutters. The ceilings have moulded plaster cornices, and there is a niche in the hall. The small winder staircase has a moulded mahogany handrail that is wreathed around the balustrade at the top. There is also a white marble chimneypiece.
