Description
Hillyfield is a house located just outside the city walls, built around the late 1830s. It features mass wall construction with painted render and red brick chimney shafts, topped by a slated hipped roof. Some cast iron rainwater goods are present. The plan is double-depth and two rooms wide, heated by end and axial chimney stacks.
The exterior has two storeys with boxed eaves and a symmetrical three-window front. A Tuscan porch with fielded panel reveals and inverted corners frames the doorcase, which consists of a six-panel door with the top two panels glazed and the middle two fielded with inverted corners. The house has 16-pane boxed sash windows with horns throughout. On the left side, the ground floor has two 8/12-pane hornless boxed sash windows, while the first floor features two 16-pane hornless boxed sash windows.
The interior has not been inspected. Hillyfield is noted as an externally little-altered example of a small early 19th-century Classical villa.
