Description
Hillfoot Cottages are two semi-detached houses, originally three separate homes. Number 2, on the right, dates from the 17th century, while Number 3, on the left, was added in the late 17th or early 18th century. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear that is not of listable quality. The cottages are constructed of ashlar stone and feature a limestone slate roof.
The gables have flat copes with roll cross saddles, and the flat coping rises to twin diagonal stacks, which indicate the position of a former gable at the rear of Numbers 1 and 2. There is also a single square stack from the gable end at the rear right. All stacks are made of ashlar with moulded top and bottom courses. Number 1 and 2 have their gable end facing the road, while the facade of Number 3 is flush with this gable end.
Number 3 is one storey high with a coped Cotswold gable from the eaves and features one window. It has three and four-light, flat chamfered, stone-mullioned windows, including one with a king mullion, and two bull's-eye windows in the left gable end. The door on the left is unpainted and set within a 4-centred arched surround, topped with a large stone lintel that has a flat moulded top.
Numbers 1 and 2 are two storeys with an attic. Their windows include two, three, and four-light, flat-chamfered, stone-mullioned designs, with one featuring a king mullion. All windows have metal casements with leaded lights and stopped hoods. There is a 20th-century plank door, located off-centre to the right in the right wall. A former central doorway with a gabled porch in this wall has been replaced by a window.
Inside Numbers 1 and 2, there is a large stone 4-centred arched fireplace with a bread oven, as well as a smaller 4-centred arched fireplace on the first floor.
