Description
Hills Corner is a cottage built in the 18th century, with extensions added in the late 19th or early 20th century. It features roughcast cob walls and a straw thatched roof with gabled and half-hipped ends. The cottage has a gable-end stack with a short brick chimney.
The layout consists of a two-room plan, where the larger room on the left is heated by the gable-end stack and has a central doorway for entry. The smaller room on the right is unheated. A single-storey outshut was added to the right end during the late 19th or early 20th century.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical west front with two windows. The windows are small 19th-century two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. The central doorway features a plank door and a later open timber porch. There is an internal stack on the left gable end and a single-storey lean-to outshut on the right end.
Inside, the ground floor rooms have axial beams and exposed joists. The north room includes a fireplace with a shelf supported by brackets, along with cupboards on either side that have plank doors. A staircase at the rear rises from the north room and has a plain balustrade at the top, with stick balusters and a square newel post. The doors are made of planks. The attic is ceiled and has a matchboard partition, but the roof structure is not accessible.
