Description
Hill Court is a house built between 1863 and 1864, with a single storey extension added in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of rendered brick with an ashlar porch and stone dressings, topped with a hipped slate roof, and is designed in a classical style. It has two storeys and features six windows, all of which are 4-pane sashes set in plain reveals.
The central two bays of the front elevation project forward and are adorned with a tetrastyle Doric porch that includes a cornice, parapet, and a ribbed panelled ceiling, along with a pediment above. The central round-headed opening contains a panelled and glass double door with a plain fanlight, flanked by round-headed sashes. The ground floor has canted bays on either side of the porch, featuring cornices and parapets, a plinth, and a band course, as well as a cornice at the eaves.
On the south side, there are three windows similar to those on the front, along with a central panelled and glass door that has a transom and sidelights, supported by a flat hood on brackets and topped with a transom light. Canted bays are also present on either side. The north side has five windows, with two on the ground floor to the right being blind, and two on the first floor to the right blocked behind dummy windows. The two windows on the left of the first floor have flat mullions. This side features a central Ionic porch with a cornice and parapet, leading to a four-panelled door with a transom and sidelights.
At the rear, there are two sashes similar to those on the front at both the ground and first floors, along with a single storey extension that has a pitched roof, a 10-light stained glass window, and a single light on the first floor.
Inside, there is a plain staircase with a wreathed handrail and panelling. The hall contains a fine wooden Renaissance chimneypiece that is carved and gilt, featuring a central panel depicting Diana reclining on a couch with a stag and hounds nearby, along with emblematic carvings that include heraldry indicating a date of around 1631.
