Description

Hill House is an early 18th-century house with an early 19th-century wing, constructed of brick and tile. It is a Queen Anne house with a symmetrical east front of two storeys and an attic, featuring a 1-3-1 window arrangement. The roof is hipped and has a stone moulded and coved eaves cornice, with a pediment above the slightly projecting centrepiece. The red brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, with a stone first-floor band and plinth. The window openings have rubbed cambered arches with keystones, and the pediment contains an oval window with a plain architrave and keystone. Sashes are set within reveals. The doorcase has a cornice, a decorated frieze, fluted pilasters with panelled reveals, and an architrave enclosing a fanlight with leaded decoration, surrounding a six-panelled door.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with three windows (two of which are blank) and a plain door. It links to a wing extending southwards, built in the early 19th century. This wing is of two storeys, with three windows, a hipped roof, flint walls with brick quoins, head and sill bands, and large diamonds in the panels, set within rubbed flat arches. Casements are present. The north elevation is of red brickwork in Flemish bond, with blue headers, a first-floor band, and plinth. It has two casements, the larger of which has old leaded lights.

Inside, a north-side room retains 18th-century panelling. There are panelled doors in architraves, and a staircase dating from the 18th century.
