Hillcliffe, Forecourt Wall And Sea Garden Wall

Hillcliffe is a house located in Robin Hood's Bay, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century projecting canted extension on the left. The building features incised rendered walls and pantiled roofs with stone copings and brick chimneys. The main house is two storeys high with an attic and has an irregular arrangement of two windows. The entrance consists of a four-panel door set within a keyed stone architrave, flanked by 16-pane sash windows in raised surrounds with circular keys on both floors. There are square-headed dormers with plain Yorkshire sashes. The one-bay left extension has similar windows and a door. The chimneys at both ends and at the junction have been rebuilt. At the rear, there is a tall retaining wall that encloses a small garden on the seaward side. The forecourt wall is approximately two feet high, with a flat coping, surrounding the front garden.
