Description
Hill is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and an addition made in the late 20th century. The building features a mix of partly rendered and dressed coursed stone, with slate-hung gables at the front and an asbestos slate roof. There is a rendered stack on the ridge at the left end and another rendered late 20th-century stack at the front right. It has a single-depth plan with a late 20th-century addition at the rear left. Originally, it was part of an early 17th-century two or three-room plan, but the lower end has been completely rebuilt and is now a separate property.
The house is two storeys high with a three-bay front. The right-hand bays are slightly advanced and unrendered, while the left bay is whitewashed and rendered. An outshut at the front right forms a porch. The early 17th-century doorway features ovolo-moulding and urn stops. The ground floor windows are late 20th-century two- and three-light casements with glazing bars, set under timber lintels. On the first floor, the centre and right windows are three-light late 20th-century casements with six panes per light, located in slate-hung gabled dormers.
Inside, the ground floor room on the left has a large fireplace with a decorated plaster overmantle dated 1621, featuring the initials "WW". There is also late 20th-century painting on the plaster overmantle, and a plaster moulding of vine runs along the rear of the room. It is said that the house originally had a decorated plaster ceiling on the first floor, which collapsed in the late 20th century.
