Description
Shepherd's Hill is a late 18th-century building located on the west side of Stricklandgate. It features painted stucco with stone quoins and a plinth. The entrance includes a six-panelled door with a fanlight, flanked by two stone Doric columns that support a block entablature and a pediment. There are three sash windows on the ground floor and four above. The centre window above the door is painted to look like a dummy window. Inside, there is a well-preserved Georgian interior.
