Description
Gun Hill Place is a villa built around 1820, which has been altered and extended in the 20th century. The building is constructed from colourwashed and rendered brick and features a hipped slate roof with two rendered stacks.
The entrance front is two storeys high with two windows. It has an open pedimented timber doorcase supported by engaged columns with fish-scale capitals, leading to a half-glazed door beneath a five-vaned fanlight. There is a 4/4 horned sash window on both the right and left sides, and two 3/6 unhorned sashes on the first floor.
On the garden front, the villa is also two storeys and consists of three bays, with a single-storey bay at each end. All ground floor openings are French windows with glazing bars, with the central one enclosed in a late 20th-century glazed porch. The first floor features a central French window that opens onto a wrought-iron balcony, while the end windows are casements. All windows and French windows are fitted with louvred shutters. The interior has not been inspected.
