Description
3 and 4 Station Hill are a pair of houses built in the early 19th century, with slight alterations. The front is made of coursed squared granite, while the sides and rear are constructed from uncoursed rubble, featuring quoins and a slate roof. The houses have a rectangular double-depth plan, with each house being single-fronted. They stand two storeys high with three bays over a basement, situated on a sloping site that exposes the basement of No. 3.
The design is symmetrical and reflects classical style. In the center, there is a shallow recessed porch with an ashlar architrave shaped like a semi-elliptical arch, complete with imposts, a keystone, and a cornice. This porch contains coupled doorways with reeded surrounds under a single fanlight, which is no longer glazed but retains remnants of geometrical glazing bars.
On the ground floor, there are two sashed windows set in round-headed recesses with run-out imposts; however, the head of the left window is now covered by a name board. Both windows are 12-paned, except the lower leaf of the right window, which lacks glazing bars. The first floor features three 16-pane sashes, all with flat-arched heads and keystones. The eaves project, and the hipped roof has a shallow pitch with chimneys positioned behind the ridge.
No. 3, located on the left, has a basement that is expressed as a plinth made of large ashlar blocks, which includes a 12-pane sashed window. The narrow gap between Nos. 2 and 3 is filled by a two-storey screen wall that has a door at basement level and a blind window above. At the rear, there are two round-headed stair windows with Y-tracery, 12-pane sashes on the main floors, a 16-pane sash in the basement of No. 3, and back doors on two levels.
