Description
The Old Greyhound and Hill House are a pair of houses, with a portion of the building originally serving as an inn. The core of the building dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations and an 19th-century wing added to the right. The three oldest bays on the left have a timber frame to the first floor, now largely hidden by whitewashed render and half-timbering, with the two leftmost bays slightly projecting. The lower ground floor was rebuilt in brick during the 19th century. The house is two storeys high. The ground-floor windows are 3-light casements with leaded outer panes, while the first-floor windows are 2-light, leaded, except for a single light positioned between the right bays above a 20th-century gabled timber porch which contains a 20th-century door. A brick wing, with a slate roof, 20th-century metal casements, and an entrance on the right side, extends to form an L-shaped plan. The interior of the older section features timber-framed trusses to support the first floor. A lower portion of the chimney stack has been removed.
