Description
Hill Crest is a later 19th-century, two-storey gabled house located in Oldhamstocks. The house features a first floor that breaks the eaves and has single-storey rear extensions. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and the openings have chamfered arrises, along with raised quoins.
The north elevation is asymmetrical with three bays. The central entrance consists of a panelled door flanked by a window on the right at ground level. There are first-floor windows in both bays that break the eaves in gabled dormerheads. The outer left bay is gabled and advanced, featuring a projecting rectangular bay at ground level with a tripartite window, which has been regrettably altered, and a bipartite window on the first floor.
On the south elevation, there is a gabled bay on the outer right, accompanied by a single-storey gabled L-plan extension at ground level, creating a trio of gables. The centre and left bays are slightly advanced, forming a re-entrant corner at the outer left.
The east and west elevations are blank, with a small first-floor window to the left of the east elevation. Most of the sash and case windows have a multi-small-pane glazing pattern. The house features gable end stacks, purple-grey slates, and swept eaves with plain barge boarding.
Additionally, there are low rubble parapet retaining walls by the recessed bays at the north front, along with higher rubble walls surrounding the garden.
