Description
Hillside is a detached villa built in 1827 by Joseph Wilson, one of three similar buildings. It features stone walls that are stuccoed, with a stucco plat-band. The villa has a low pyramidal slate roof with projecting modillion eaves and four brick stacks, two at each end of the eaves. The building is square on plan, double-depth, and has a rear extension. It stands two storeys tall and has three square sash windows with thin glazing bars.
On the ground floor, there are tall French windows, also with thin glazing bars, set in shallow elliptical-headed recesses. The front door, located at the center, is made of wood and has six panels, topped with a semi-circular fanlight that includes glazing bars. The doorway is framed by a reeded pilaster surround with plain imposts and a dropped key above, while the door frame features similar reeded motifs. Additionally, 19th-century wooden trelliswork frames the French windows.
The property is bordered by iron railings with arrow-headed tops and urns, and the gate posts have plain recessed panels with pyramidal tops.
