Description

Hilliers is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is constructed of plaster-covered cob walls with a half-hipped thatched roof. Rendered rubble stacks with brick shafts project at each end, and there's a similar rear lateral stack. The layout features principal rooms at the front, divided by a central entrance hall, with narrower service rooms at the rear and a kitchen to the left, heated by the rear lateral stack.

The front elevation is symmetrical with three windows, likely originally 3-light windows, although they now have 20th-century replacement leaded lights. A late 20th-century thatched roof porch with French windows sits centrally. Inside, the kitchen fireplace has a large wooden mantelpiece and surround, possibly original. Panelled shutters are fitted to a front window, and a circa early 19th-century classical chimneypiece survives in the left-hand room.

Local climate

Hilliers 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.
