Description

11 Church Hill is a symmetrical villa built around 1850, with a sympathetic addition made in 1880. The villa is two stories high and has a three-bay rectangular plan, featuring a two-story addition to the west and a large modern extension at the rear. The exterior is made of cream sandstone with stugged ashlar at the front and squared, snecked dressed rubble on the rear and sides. It has a base course, a cill band course at the first floor, architraved windows with cornices at the ground floor, and an eaves cornice with a blocking course that bears a tablet.

On the south (front) elevation, the center bay is slightly advanced and features an architraved doorway with a consoled cornice, a plate glass fanlight, a panelled door, and a tiled vestibule. Above this doorway is a corniced single window at the first floor. The outer bays have windows on both the ground and first floors. To the outer right, there is a slightly advanced matching single bay addition with windows on both levels.

The north (rear) elevation has a large, lower two-story modern rendered extension on the left, with single windows and a secondary door in the remaining bays.

On the east elevation, there is a single bay addition with a single window at the first floor and a wallhead stack to the left. To the right, there are two recessed bays with a single-story modern extension at the ground floor, a tall stair window, and a window at the first floor above, along with a central shouldered wallhead stack.

The west elevation features two windows on the outer right and a central shouldered wallhead stack.

Additionally, there is a single-story gabled coach house to the northeast, which includes a dovecot. The gable end facing south has a large opening with a window above and four flight holes in the gablehead.

The villa has timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing at the front and 12-pane glazing at the rear. The roof is covered with slate and has lead flashings, along with three wallhead stacks. The eaves gutter is moulded. Surrounding the property is a tall rubble wall at the rear and sides with semi-circular coping, and a low wall at the front with saddleback coping.
