Hillary Hall is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with alterations made in the early to mid-18th century and the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and has three storeys with four first-floor windows. The building features quoins.

On the ground floor, there is a part-glazed four-panel door, above which is a moulded doorhead with a pulvinated frieze and a keystone inscribed "1729". There is also a three-light double-chamfered mullion window with a hood-mould, two double-chamfered fire-windows with hood-moulds, a two-light casement window, and paired sash windows set in an architrave.

The first floor has two six-pane sashes in ashlar surrounds, a two-light chamfered mullion window, and paired sashes in an architrave. The second floor features two two-light chamfered mullion windows. The building has stacks at both ends and a corniced stack in the centre.

Hillary Hall was the childhood home of Sir William Hillary (1697 - 1763), a physician who was knighted for his work on tropical diseases in Barbados and who practiced in Ripon, Bath, and London.
