Olde Hill House

Olde Hill House is a house dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The rear left section is built of stone, featuring red and grey brick dressings, while the right section is rendered. The front wing has painted brick on the ground floor and is rendered above, with applied framing. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The rear range consists of two short sections, with the right section slightly set back. The 17th-century wing has about two and a half timber-framed bays that extend forward, concealing the front of the later left section. The house has two storeys and a garret, with the eaves of the wing lower than those of the rear left section. The front gable end of the wing displays applied close-studding and decorative framing. The left end of the rear section and the front of the wing have half-hipped roofs, and the gable of the wing features cusped bargeboards. There is a rear stack towards the center of the left section and a gable-end stack on the right. A ridge stack is located in a narrow bay at the rear end of the cross-wing, and there is a truncated projecting brick stack towards the front of the long left side of the wing. A small gabled dormer is present on the rear left section. The windows have irregular fenestration, including one three-light leaded casement in the first-floor gable end of the wing and one four-light casement in the right section. A ribbed door is found in the right section, along with a Norwich Union Fire Insurance plaque on the right side of the wing. Inside, the wing features exposed framing and gunstock jowls on the principal posts. There are two brick-vaulted stone-walled cellars at right angles to the left side of the wing on the ground floor, extending into the hill.
