Description

Dated 1902, Glenhill is a single-story and attic, three-bay gabled cottage in a mock-timbered style, accompanied by an adjacent polygonal conservatory and featuring a fine traditional interior. The exterior is constructed from pink bull-faced rubble with ashlar dressings. Segmental-headed openings are a defining architectural feature, alongside swept-roof piended dormer windows with finials, voussoirs, and stone and timber mullions with raked cills.

The southwest (principal) elevation presents a broad recessed bay centred around a full-width timber and glass porch with a segmental-headed 5-part arcade. Decorative columns flank diminutive spandrels featuring heart details, and steps lead to a central entrance, flanked by verandah-type openings and smaller windows with leaded coloured glass, set within canted outer angles beneath a swept roof. A recessed face includes a 6-panelled timber door, a 3-part fanlight, an adjacent narrow light, all with leaded coloured glass, and a cast-iron lamp bracket, with a 4-light window over panelled aprons in the centre, and a further window to the right. A small bipartite dormer breaks the eaves centrally. Advanced gabled outer bays, the left bay slightly larger, each feature a full-width tripartite window and a single window to the outer returns, with timbered finialled gableheads. A conservatory is set back to the outer left.

The southeast elevation is a four-bay arrangement with a bipartite window to the right of centre, single windows in flanking bays, and a segmental-headed tripartite window with leaded coloured glass to the outer left. A small bipartite dormer is above the bay to the right of centre, and a battered stack sits to the outer right.

The windows are predominantly plate glass lower with 9-pane upper sashes (on the southwest elevation), and a 4-pane glazing pattern throughout timber sash and case windows. The southwest dormer has a 12-pane glazing pattern in its casement window. The roof is covered in rosemary tiles with hooped terracotta ridge tiles, with small brick ridge stacks and a rendered stack to the southeast, featuring decorative cans. Overhanging eaves are complemented by plain bargeboarding and cast-iron downpipes with dated rainwater hoppers.

The interior retains a fine decorative scheme, including decorative plasterwork friezes, cornices, and ceilings, alongside timber architraved doorpieces. A timber fire surround is present, along with an overmantel and flanking fitted part-glazed cabinets. A screen wall spans in a broad segmental arch with panelled timber skirting and decorative glass above. The decorative scheme may include Scott Morton wallpapers.
