Description

Hill Farm Cottages is a pair of mid-19th century cottages. The north front is made of red brick, while the garden front features flint rubble with yellow brick details. The cottages have a hipped pantile roof and two brick chimneys, standing two storeys tall. The garden front has a two-window range with wings that are set back to the right and left. Each wing has one first-floor window above ribbed doors that are framed in rusticated brick surrounds. All windows are casements with Gothic-style 'Y' glazing bars set in round heads, also with rusticated brick architraves. There are blind recesses on the ground and first floors in the center, and a yellow brick string course runs along the building. The eaves are overhanging.
