Description
Hill House is an early 19th century house in a row, now used as a doctor’s surgery. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with dressings of Ham stone and a clay pantiled Mansard roof behind stepped coped gables and a parapet. The parapet features moulded coping that sweeps upwards towards the centre and ends, and it is punctuated by brick chimney stacks with moulded stone caps.
The house is two storeys with attics, and comprises five bays. It has a stone plinth and cornice. The windows are 12-pane sashes set in plain openings with rubbed brick flat arches. A central doorway, approached by three steps, leads into a panelled recess, with a six-panel door and a Regency-pattern cast iron rectangular fanlight, all set within a pedimented timber surround. Two attic windows are visible behind the parapet.
A small, single-bay link, dating from the 19th century, connects the house to an adjoining building on the east side. This link features a stilted segmental arched doorway and an 8-pane sash window above, with a continued cornice, and is slightly recessed. The interior is not visible.
