Description
Under the Hill House is a large detached dwelling built in the early 18th century. It features a smooth rendered exterior and a stone slate roof, with a wood modillion cornice on the main blocks. The house has a complex double-L shape, consisting of a principal hipped roof block and a secondary gabled extension. An octagonal wooden turret with a weather vane, dated 1726, is also present.
The building stands three storeys high, plus dormers, and has five windows. There are two hipped dormers with two-light casements, leaded glass, and later 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars on the first and second floors. The ground floor has five tall sash windows without bars, and there is a central unit that may have originally been a door opening.
Access is through a six-panel fielded door from the lane. The rear element of the house features two three-light hipped dormers and is believed to be older than the 1726 front. Inside, there is a good 19th-century staircase with plain square balusters and a mahogany rail, along with 18th-century window shutters. According to Lindley, the building may have originally served as outbuildings for Edbrooke House.
