Hill House and Garden Wall

A high wall in rubble masonry at the N of the site is an important visual link from Hill House to other houses of the village.

Uncoursed rubble sandstone masonry, rendered and painted on the W and N faces. The front of the main block to the enclosed grounds and its rear to the street are both of three windows in width. The main block of the house is of two storeys, and has a half-hipped slate roof with large multiple chimney stacks at each end. The chimneys are also rendered and coloured. The NE wing, which is later in date, is in similar stone but in a more regularly coursed technique and with limestone quoins. The dominant feature is the window design: the windows are of sash type with diagonal glazing bars, spaced closely. The front door is modern, in a painted surround.

The main ground-floor partitions have been removed but some original detail survives. There are original alcoves with elliptical heads, two at each end and one at the rear of the room. At one end is a fireplace in Jacobean style. There are panelled shutters to all the main windows. The staircase has a cut string and shaped brackets, and a swept handrail. Pegged hewn trusses are visible in the attic bedrooms.
