Hill House

Hill House is a farmhouse, later divided into two houses, dating to the late 17th century, and largely refaced in the 18th century with subsequent alterations. The building is constructed of rendered rubble with a pantiled roof, featuring coped verges, kneelers, and gable stacks. Originally arranged in an L-shape, it has been infilled with a two-span roof, replacing a former through passage. The front façade is symmetrical, with two storeys and six windows. The ground floor windows are all 16-pane sashes, while the first-floor windows are similarly glazed sashes, with the third window from the left having a round head and splayed glazing bars. The windows are set in plain reveals. A 20th-century panelled door is located in the third bay from the left, topped by a flat timber hood with panels to the sides. The east side has 20th-century windows, while the west side features an 18th-century panelled door within a moulded frame, with a transom light containing glazing bars and a shell hood (without fluting). Above this door is a two-light casement, and to the left, another 20th-century door with an 18th-century eight-pane sash window above. The rear of the building has a gable end to the east, containing a 16-pane sash window on the first floor and a four-light window above. A 20th-century single-storey extension is also present. The ground floor has various 20th-century doors and windows, and three sashes are found on the first floor to the left. Internally, there are chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. A marble fireplace is located in the front left room, and shutters are present. The house contains an 18th-century wide dog-leg staircase with turned balusters. An open hallway has replaced the original through passage, and panelled doors are found throughout.
