Description

Hillside Cottage is a house that dates from the mid 17th century, with later additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is built of squared coursed lias stone and has a thatched roof, featuring an L-shaped plan and two storeys. The main front has a two-window range of 19th-century casement windows on the first floor and a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor. To the right, there is a 20th-century door with a glazed porch. A cross wing projects forward to the right, showcasing 17th-century three-light stone mullion windows on both the ground and first floors. The cross wing has an ashlar gable parapet, while the left gable features a brick parapet. There are brick stacks at the ridge and end of the building. Attached to the left is a 19th-century brick and stone extension. The rear of the cottage is similar, with some 20th-century windows. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have ceiling beams and an open fireplace.
