Point Hill Point Hill South

This is a house, originally a cottage, now subdivided into Point Hill and Point Hill South. Point Hill South is an 18th-century cottage that was altered around 1886 by the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield, who used it as his own residence. At that time, new additions, Point Hill, were constructed. The building is asymmetrical, designed to take advantage of the sloping site. Point Hill South is mostly rendered, although the first floor of the southeast elevation is weatherboarded. It has a tiled roof with a brick chimneystack and a gable end that is weatherboarded. There are three casement windows, and large, late 20th-century windows have been inserted into what was originally a loggia on the ground floor. A single-story stuccoed addition with a tiled roof, a 12-pane sash window, and a four-panelled door is located on the southeast side. A weatherboarded extension with a slate roof and brick plinth is at the rear. Point Hill has a main entrance on the northwest side. It is a single-story building made of painted brick with a hipped tiled roof and an adjoining portico with Tuscan columns. The southwest front features a three-story look-out tower, tile-hung on the upper floors, with a triple casement window on three sides, single casement windows below, and a large gable, also tile-hung, with triple windows on each floor and wooden balustrading above.
