Description
Hillsborough House is a villa from around 1860, now divided into flats. It has a plastered exterior and a hipped slate roof, although the chimney stacks have been dismantled. The building has a deep rectangular plan and faces south, featuring an entrance on the east side and a rear left service wing with later extensions.
The villa is two storeys tall with an attic and has deep eaves supported by paired moulded brackets. The symmetrical south front has three windows, with ground-floor 18-pane sash windows that include margin panes, and first-floor 12-pane sashes that also have Venetian shutters. Across the front, there is a five-bay rebuilt trellis verandah topped with a shallow tent roof. The first floor features three round-headed attic dormers with slate-hung sides, each glazed with 3 over 6-pane sashes. The left side of the building is similar in design, while the right side, which is the entrance, has a panelled central front door with an overlight and glazed side panels, and the central bay of the verandah is glazed to create a porch.
The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have been significantly altered for the flat conversions.
