Description
Hillside House is a 17th-century house dated 1629. It is timber-framed and covered with painted brick, while the right side is weatherboarded, and it has a plain tiled roof. The house has two storeys above a basement, which is shown as a plinth, and features a tiled and weathered string course. The roof is hipped on the left and gabled on the right, with a truncated stack at the right end. There are three pairs of 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, two on the ground floor, and two openings to the left and right for the basement. The central entrance has a half-glazed door in a gabled porch, which is accessed by a flight of six steps from the left. The porch gable includes bargeboards with a pendant and a plaster medallion depicting Romulus along with the date 1629, which was taken from a ceiling at Lynsted Park.
