Description
Hill View and Alcombe is a row of model estate cottages built around 1880. The cottages feature polychromatic brickwork, combining red, blue, and white bricks arranged in contrasting bands, with herringbone masonry made of ironstone. They have a slate roof and brick ridge stacks, and the structure is two stories tall with a six-window range.
The cottages have plank doors with overlights at the center and on the left and right sides, along with one-light casements at the ends and to the right of the middle door. Each cottage also includes a four-light casement and two-light casements on the first floor. The windows and doors are adorned with chamfered wood lintels, chamfered blue brick jambs, blue brick sills, and hood moulds, with the ground floor openings of each cottage linked together.
A chamfered plinth primarily made of blue brick supports the structure, while a first-floor string course of blue stretchers frames red stretchers that alternate with terracotta mailhead insets. The cottages feature blue brick quoins and moulded red brick eaves. They were constructed by the Thornton estate as model estate cottages.
