Description
The Hillocks is a group of three single-storey cottages dating from the 17th century, arranged in a U-shape around a yard to the northeast. The cottages are constructed from whinstone rubble and are lime painted.
On the northeast elevation, the southern wing features a lean-to shed on the left and a timber boarded door on the right. There are three windows to the right, along with an advanced flat-roofed porch at the southern angle, which has a door to the east and a window to the northwest. The western wing has two windows for the second cottage, a flat-roofed porch at the northern angle, a door on the left return, and two windows to the right. The northern wing has an entrance door to the third cottage, flanked by windows, with an additional window to the left. There is a lean-to shed on the right and a timber boarded door on the left. The gable end walls are plain.
The southeast elevation features a central door with two windows on each side. The southwest elevation has four canted bay windows on stone bases at the rear. The northwest elevation is not visible as of 2000.
The cottages have replacement windows, and the rear bay windows were added in the later 19th century, featuring polygonal slate roofs. The original pantile roof has been replaced with a piended roof, and there are five rendered ridge stacks. The interiors were not seen as of 2000.
