Description

Hamilton House is a house and cottage, likely built in the late 17th century. The structure is made of coursed squared sandstone and features a steeply-pitched, swept pantile roof with a raised verge that has ashlar coping and a shaped kneeler on the left gable, while the right side has coping as well. Each dwelling has an end stone stack, which has been partly rebuilt in brick. The building is two storeys high, with the house having two bays and the cottage to the left having one bay. There is a chamfered plinth at the ground floor cill level.

The house has a central four-panel door with a replaced stone lintel, while the cottage features a glazed door with a chamfered lintel. The windows include one 19th-century 12-pane sash on the first floor of the house, with the rest being 20th-century glazing. There are remnants of stone lintels with keystones above three windows.

Inside the cottage, there is a chamfered bressummer with tongued stops above the fireplace. The house contains an early 18th-century closed-string, dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The newels are rectangular and have moulded-base pendants, with a curved bracket at the bottom newel.
