Description

Hill House is a gault brick house dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring double gables on the east side with stopped gables. The south front has a three-window range, while the east side has a two-window range. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in plain reveals with segmental arched heads. There is a central doorway on the south front, which includes an architrave, cornice, and a semi-circular fanlight above. Raised brick bands run between the storeys. The roof is double-pitched and tiled, with a heavy square chimney stack located in the valley.

Hill House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
