Description
Bitton Hill is an elegant classical villa built in 1863 on an escarpment above Bitton. The two-storey building is constructed from coursed pennant rubble with ashlar quoins (which are channelled) and ashlar dressings. It has a hipped slate roof and octagonal chimney stacks in the valley. A band runs above the ground floor, and there is a heavy modillion eaves cornice.
The west front has five windows, with plate glass sashes set within architraves. The ground floor windows have pulvinated friezes and cornices while the central first-floor window is tripartite with a segment-headed centre light. A central porch has arched channelled rustication, a vaulted inner ceiling, double doors, and a plain arched fanlight. A one-bay lower extension is located to the left. The south return has one, two, and one bays, with the outer bays breaking forward to create angled ground floor bay windows and tripartite first-floor windows (the centre light being segment-headed). Stable wings to the north-west are not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
