Description

Butter Hill House and Rose Hill House are two large houses, each consisting of two parallel ranges, creating a small terrace. The front facades date from the 18th century, but Rose Hill House is at least a 17th-century building encased in an 18th-century exterior. It features two brick chimney breasts on the north-east wall, with a casement window consisting of two tiers of three lights, complete with brick mullions and a transom. The front of both houses is finished in stucco, while the rear is red brick. They are three storeys tall and have seven windows, with stringcourses above the ground and first floors. The buildings have a modillion cornice and parapet, and the glazing bars are intact.

There are two large symmetrical five-sided bays on the ground and first floors, which were likely added later, each containing six narrow windows and topped with a modillion cornice. The doorways are adorned with engaged Doric columns, pediments, and semi-circular fanlights. At the south-west end of Butter Hill House, there is a two-storey red brick addition with two windows, and at the north-east end of Rose Hill House, there is a similar addition featuring three windows and a pointed archway over the road beneath the third window.
