Cherry Hill

Cherry Hill is a two-storey house built in the early 20th century, featuring a rendered exterior over brick and a hipped plain tiled roof. The design reflects a simplified Arts and Crafts style with an asymmetrical composition.

The garden front is divided into four main sections by an advanced central gable. To the left of this gable, the main hall includes a French window with sidelights and a small inglenook window, all set beneath a jettied half-timbered upper storey that has a four-light casement window. The left bay is slightly advanced and features five and four-light casement windows, with the roof extending over a loggia in the left-hand gable return. The advanced gable has a four-light casement window on the ground floor, a three-light casement above, and a prominent brick stack at the right angle of the gable. In the right bay, two rooms are illuminated by a five-light casement window and a smaller two-light window alongside, with a single three-light window above.

At the rear, the main entrance is centrally located and recessed beneath the jettied timbered upper storey. The doorway features a four-centred chamfered arch and a heavy studded door with strap hinges, flanked by leaded sidelights. To the right of the entrance are paired gables, with a transomed stair window in the inner gable and three-light casement windows in the advanced outer gable. The roof slopes down over a service entrance, which includes a long four-light dormer window. The original windows were iron-casements with leaded lights, some of which remain, although many have been replaced.

The original layout of the house is largely intact, featuring a central entrance and stair hall with living rooms on either side and a distinct service area. The main hall includes an inglenook fireplace with a built-in bench and a beaten copper hood dated 1937 in raised lettering. The solid-panelled square staircase has ornate newels, and original fire-surrounds are preserved in the other living rooms, including one in the former dining room that incorporates tiles with a vine-scroll design.
