Hill House

Hill House is a cloth hall, later adapted for residential use, dating back to the 15th century, with extensions added in the 16th century, followed by alterations in the 17th century and further cladding in the 18th and 19th centuries. The structure is timber framed, standing on a painted brick plinth and featuring decorative tile hanging to the front and sides. The timber frame is exposed, with plaster infilling and close studding on the two large wings at the rear. A wooden modillion eaves cornice runs along the front, above a plain tiled, half-hipped roof. Gabled roofs are present at the rear, along with a brick ridge stack to the left of the centre and an end stack to the right. The front facade is regular, featuring five windows, with three central windows spaced more closely together. The windows are glazing bar sashes, with the ground-floor outer windows being tripartite. A central panelled door, approached by four steps, is flanked by fluted Corinthian pilasters which support a segmental pediment filled with heavily carved scrollwork and floral decoration.
