Description

Hodge Hill is a house that has been converted into a hotel, possibly dating from 1560, with later alterations. The building is constructed of roughcast stone and features a slate roof. It has two storeys with an attic and consists of five bays, with the end bays gabled and the right one projecting. The windows have wooden chamfered mullions and transoms, and leaded glazing, with some iron opening lights that are likely from the 19th century or later. The second bay contains a stair window, while the third bay features a gabled dormer topped with a ball finial. The fifth bay has two small attic lights, and the fourth bay includes a recessed porch under a gallery. The wide-boarded door has moulded battens and a bolection-moulded frame, along with a decorative handle. The gallery is supported by turned balusters and posts, and has eaves, an entrance, and a small window. The building has gable-end stacks and a cross-axial stack with paired rounded shafts.

The left return has three bays, while the rear has six bays, with the end bays asymmetrically gabled and the right one projecting. There is a drip course to the central bays, and the windows are similar to those on the front, with the end bays having windows under dripstones. The attic window in the first bay has an older wooden frame and lacks leaded glazing. The return of the sixth bay features an entrance with a wide-boarded studded door, and a small gabled projection covered in foliage at the front. The gable ends have ball finials and stacks. The left return includes a gabled wing that connects with a service range, which has casement windows with leaded glazing and two cross-axial stacks.

Inside, the building has chamfered beams and a plank and muntin partition with moulded arrises and a two-panel door. There is a spice cupboard marked "EMS/1674" and a bay window with cupboards featuring butterfly hinges. A stone fireplace partition includes an attached bench and an adjoining two-panel door. The dog-leg stair has dog gates and a turned balustrade leading to the landing. On the first floor, there are plank and muntin partitions and a small cupboard door marked "BPA/1692".
