Description
Hillcrest and Maxwell House is a house and cottage located in Coxwold, dating from the mid-18th century, with a later cottage added to the left. The building is constructed of rubble sandstone and features a pantile roof. It has two storeys and a rear outshut that is built around a central turret. The front elevation has a ratio of one to three first-floor windows. The central entrance is a four-panel door that is sheltered by an open timber canopy.
On the ground floor, the windows from left to right include a 16-pane sash window set beneath a deep lintel, a side-sliding sash window, and two 16-pane sashes that have flat arches made of dressed stone voussoirs. The first floor features one 16-pane sash and three side-sliding sashes. The stone coping on the roof has a ball finial on the ridge to the left. There are brick ridge stacks located between the first and second bays and at the right end of the building. Hillcrest, which is to the left, has a side entrance that includes an added porch.
