Description

Hill Cottage is a two-storey building likely constructed from local limestone rubble with a cemented cladding. It features a Welsh slate gabled roof adorned with red tile cresting and has cemented stacks at both ends. The cottage has three later 20th-century two-light hardwood casement windows on the ground and first floors, with wood lintels above the ground floor windows and the upper windows positioned at eaves level. A buttress is located at the south-west end, and the north-east gable includes a projecting chimney breast. The south-west gable shows the position of the original entry and possibly the original doorway. The low-pitched roof suggests that the walls have been raised and a new roof structure added.

The interior has not been seen during the resurvey, but it is reported to contain a fireplace at each end. The north-east fireplace features original stone chamfered jambs with pyramid stops and a timber stopped and chamfered bressumer. The south-west fireplace has straight-edged jambs and a timber bressumer, along with an original stone relieving arch above. There is an original arched stone chamfered doorway for the staircase at the south-west, which has Glamorganshire stops and an old wooden boarded door from Sussex. The stone stairs have a cantilevered stone slab roof and a stair light. The ground floor has stopped and chamfered ceiling beams, and square joists that are covered over. There are window seats in the south and north windows, and the centre window was formerly a doorway, though it is likely not the original doorway. These details have been confirmed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
