Description

The Hill is a house dating from the mid-18th century, built on the site of an earlier structure. It features incised stucco on a chamfered plinth, with raised V-jointed quoins and a moulded cornice. The roof is made of Welsh slate, and there are end stone chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and five bays. The entrance includes a six-panelled door set within an eared moulded architrave. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, framed by plain painted stone surrounds, although the window to the left of the entrance has been altered to a 20th-century French window. The listing does not include the outbuildings, which have been converted into holiday flats.

Local climate

The Hill sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,030 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 34 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
