Description
Hillbrow, now used as a residential home, is a house dating from the early 19th century, with some alterations from the 1930s and an addition from the 1980s. The building is constructed of brick, mostly covered in roughcast, and has a slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. It has an L-shaped plan, featuring a double-depth main block that is two rooms wide, with an off-centre entrance leading into a passage.
The exterior is three storeys tall, with an asymmetrical four-bay south front topped by a hipped slate roof that has deep eaves and a moulded cornice supported by shaped eaves brackets. There are clasping pilasters on the left and right sides, and platbands at the first and second floor levels. A timber lean-to porch from the 1930s, located in the third bay from the left, features herringbone brick nogging. The windows, likely from the 1930s, have eared shouldered architraves, with three ground floor and four first floor horned 12-pane sash windows. The small second floor windows have various 20th-century casements, and there is a blind recess to the right. The right return, facing Exeter Road, has matching cornice and platbands, with 20th-century iron casement windows.
An addition from the 1980s, which is a single storey, is attached to the main block on the west side of the south front. It is designed in a matching style, featuring a pitched slate roof and three small-pane timber sash windows with similar architraves. The garden is enclosed by a tall, thatched, roughcast cob wall, which includes an attractive door with 19th-century decorated cast iron grille panels.
Inside, Hillbrow retains some 19th-century features, including joinery, a stick baluster staircase with a ramped handrail, some moulded cornices, and a white marble chimney piece.
