Description

Hillside Cottages are a pair of cottages from the early to mid-18th century, each featuring two storeys and an attic, with one window per cottage. They have a tiled, half-hipped mansard roof that includes a central chimney and two gabled dormers. The cottages are constructed of red brick, with weatherboarding on the north wall. The modern casement windows on the ground floor are set beneath segmental brick arches. The front doors, dating from the mid-19th century, consist of two long panels and are topped with flat hoods supported by cast iron brackets. At the rear, there is an early to mid-19th century wing that has a hipped slated roof.
