Description

Hill House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with 20th-century alterations and an addition. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a steeply pitched roof covered with 20th-century tiles. The house has three stone ridge and end stacks with brick shafts. It is designed in a three-unit layout with a rear wing that forms an L-shape, and it stands two storeys high plus an attic, with a six-window range.

The central entrance features a panelled door set within a wooden doorcase that has a flat hood. The entrance is flanked by three sash windows with glazing bars on the left and two similar windows on the right. The first floor also has sash windows with glazing bars, all set under stone lintels. There are six roof dormers with hipped roofs. At the rear, there is a gabled two-storey staircase projection.

Inside, the house is noted for a bolection moulded fireplace on the ground floor, which is currently painted brown, late 18th-century painted deal panelling, a 20th-century staircase with turned balusters, and windows that have shutters and window seats. Hill House was built by the Westcar family. The interior has not been inspected.
