Hill House And Woldside

Hill House and Woldside is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It was built in 1845 for Lieutenant Francis Ellis, the Harbourmaster. The building features gault brick construction with a hipped slate roof and two stacks on the side roof slopes.

The house has three storeys and a basement, with a five-window front. To the right, there is a flat-roofed extension that includes a garage. The main front has a central half-glazed door set in an Ionic porch with an entablature. To the left of the door, there is an altered window that has been changed into a glazed door leading to Woldside. The remaining ground floor windows and those on the first floor are 6/9 glazing bar sashes, which sit under rendered skewback arches. On the second floor, there are five 6/6 unhorned sashes. The ground floor windows are fitted with louvred shutters, and each window on the first and second floors has its own balcony with turned balusters. The building is topped with a saw-toothed eaves cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
