Hillfield House, Grade II listed building in Denmark Road, Gloucester, England
Hillfield House is a substantial Victorian residence in Gloucester featuring a central tower and walls of Bath stone. The building contains 23 rooms spread through the main section and a secondary wing, with a porte-cochère marking the primary entrance.
The building was constructed between 1867 and 1869 by architect Albert Estcourt for timber merchant Charles Walker. It replaced an earlier structure known as Woodbine Hill.
The house reflects mid-Victorian residential design, with interior details showing the craftsmanship and taste of wealthy merchants from that era. The rooms and their finishes tell the story of the comfortable life these families enjoyed.
The property is located in Gloucester and visible from the street, with gates and a lodge on London Road also protected as Grade II listed structures. Visitors should note that this is a protected building and viewing is limited to the exterior.
During World War I, the residence served as an emergency hospital. It later became a local government office from 1933 until 2014.
