Cottage. C17 with some later C20 rebuilding at left end and C20 internal alterations. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings; thatched roof with plain ridge gabled at left end, asbestos slates to rear of ridge; left end stack with brick shaft, blocked right end stack. The left end wall and short sections of the return wall have been rebuilt in concrete block after the original wall collapsed.

The present plan is single depth, two rooms wide the larger heated room to the left, the smaller right hand room was heated but the stack is blocked. It is likely that Hillbrook was formerly one property with Rose Cottage (qv) adjoining at the right, but the exact relationship between the two buildings and the early plan is no longer clear.

Two storeys. Asymmetrical two window front with regular fenestration and front door to right. Two ground floor two-light small pane timber casements, first floor C20 iron casements.

Interior: the larger room, to the left, has a chamfered step-stopped crossbeam. The right hand room has a chamfered scroll-stopped crossbeam against the right hand wall.
