3 Sinclair's Hill

1 Sinclair's Hill is a row of five cottages built between the early to mid-19th century, designed in a picturesque, irregular single storey and attic style that reflects Cotswold Tudor architecture. Constructed from sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, the cottages feature chamfered arrises and stone mullions. The row is arranged with No 1 on the left and No 5 on the right of the main elevation.

The principal elevation of No 1 includes a canted stone 4-light window at the ground level on the outer left, leading up to a gabled wallhead dormer that is swept to a square shape. To the right of this window is a door, followed by a 3-light window. No 2 features a tripartite window to the left, with a stone gabled wallhead dormer above that has a bipartite window and a curvilinear gable with a finial. The central door has a gabled canopy with a ball finial and an arrowslit in the gablehead, while a bipartite window is located to the right.

No 3 has a bipartite window on the left and a plain gabled bipartite stone dormer above. The centre and right sections have an advanced pair of gabled bays, with a pentice-canopied door to the left and a canted 4-light window to the right, bridged above by a small bipartite window that has a hoodmould over three monogram-carved shield panels. No 4 features a tripartite window to the left, with a plain gabled wallhead dormer above. The door is set in an advanced gable with a shoulder-arched lintel, flanked on the right by a bipartite window. No 5, on the outer right, has a tripartite window in an advanced panel to the left, with a semicircular pedimented stone bipartite dormer above. The central door is given a canopy by a bridged lintel, which connects to an advanced canted 5-light window on the right, featuring a bracketed eaves canopy and a gabled tripartite dormer above.

The side gables are blank, while the rear elevation includes gabled and catslide-roofed projections along with additional wallhead gabled dormers. The cottages have timber sash and case windows with plate glass glazing, and the roofs are covered with graded grey slate. The skews feature sawtooth coping and bracketed skewputts, with stone stacks at the ridge and end gableheads that have battered coping.

Outside No 5, there is a cast-iron stand pump on the road. This pump has a slender fluted shaft with a spout, a broader cylindrical top with a domed finial cap, and an elegant pump handle.
