Description
Hill Cottages comprise a terrace of four houses, likely built in the mid-18th century. The houses are constructed of red brick with flared headers, and have a plain tile roof with brick ridge stacks. They are two storeys and an attic, with a four-window front. The central houses have two-part glazed stable doors with flat hoods supported by wrought iron brackets. The left and right houses also have stable doors with similar hoods. The ground floor features twelve-pane sashes with Gothick tops and segmental brick arches. The first floor has four two-light Gothick casements. A dentil cornice runs along the eaves, and there are four gabled dormers. The interior has not been inspected.
