Description

Hill House is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions made in the mid-18th century and in 1903. The building is rendered with pantiles and has ashlar dressings and a parapet. It has two storeys and features seven windows, plus four additional windows on the north side. Most of the windows are sashes set in moulded architraves with cills supported by corbels.

The central door, located in the middle of five central bays, is topped with a pediment on corbels above an architrave, featuring a keystone and voussoirs. There is a string course and a similar pediment over the window above the door. The building has long and short quoins, a heavily moulded cornice, and a parapet.

To the left, there are two bays with a French window beneath a hood and a corner bay that is dated 1903. On the right side, there are four bays, with a sundial above the porch dated 16--. Three of these bays are 1½ storeys high, all featuring 3-light casements, two gables, and a central gabled dormer. There is a lean-to porch on the right and a two-storey gabled porch on the left, which has a keystone over a cambered head entrance and an ovolo moulded door frame. A diagonal stack is present, along with a blank return wall.
