Description
Hillside House is an 18th-century building with an earlier core, constructed from ashlar stone and topped with a stone tiled roof. It features coped gables and corniced ashlar stacks at the ends. The house is two and two-and-a-half storeys high and has a plinth, a platband, and an earlier 18th-century coved eaves cornice. The façade includes 12-pane sash windows that lack architrave surrounds, arranged in a four-window range with alternating single and paired sashes on the first floor, and two paired sashes, a door, and a paired sash on the ground floor. The entrance boasts a six-panel door set in a raised moulded surround, topped with a pediment supported by brackets. At the rear, there is a two-storey and attic range with a mansard roof and an east end stack. The north end of the building once served as a stable, featuring a timber lintel above the entry and a circular light above it. In front of the house, there is an early 19th-century rubble stone wall with coping that rises to ashlar gate piers capped with pyramids, along with 20th-century iron railings. Inside, there is a large Tudor-arched 17th-century moulded fireplace that backs onto a cross-passage, and a stone-arched cellar located under the south end.
