Description

The Hill is a house, likely built in the late 17th century, constructed of stuccoed stone rubble. It features a thatched roof, with slate covering the right end bay. There is a brick stack at the right end and a rear lateral stack that heats the right-hand room. The house has a two-room plan with a staircase located at the rear of a central passage, and the upper storey extends over a carriage entrance at the right end.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The windows are 19th-century three-light casements, each with four panes per light. A 19th-century porch with a gabled patterned slate roof leads to the outer gate, which has gothic-style open tracery. There are double plank doors at the right end that provide access to the carriage entrance. The Hill shares an identical plan with the adjoining Hill House (East). The interior has not been inspected.

Local climate

The Hill sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 970 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 75% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
