Description

Hillside Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage featuring rendered walls and a thatched roof, which has a catslide at the rear. The symmetrical front, facing west, is two storeys high with two windows. The walls are roughly rendered on cob and include brick quoins and a flint base. The ground floor windows are set in recessed pointed arches and have leaded casements. There is a 20th-century gabled wood porch with a half-glazed door. Additionally, there is a small 20th-century rear extension on the ground floor, topped with a slate roof.
