Description
George Hill House is a house that was formerly known as the George Inn. It dates from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the late 17th or early 18th century. The building has one storey and attics, featuring a three-cell layout. It is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, topped by a pantiled roof. An internal chimney stack has two attached hexagonal shafts on a square base. There is a single-storey extension at the north end and a later wing at the rear.
The house includes two three-light casement windows with transoms and cross-bars, along with two two-light casement windows. The entrance features a recessed four-panel door in a plain surround. Inside, the ground-floor rooms have exposed beam and joist ceilings, and there are two back-to-back fireplaces with timber lintels. Originally, the house was likely a two-cell structure with an end chimney stack, which was later extended by adding a third unit to the south of the stack, creating a three-bay room that may have been linked to its function as an inn. To the north of the stack, part of the rear wall was raised, and the roof pitch was made shallower, likely in the early 19th century. The house is situated on a high elevation above the road.
