The main building of The Hill, Abergavenny is 3-stories with a stone balustrade running the width of the building; extensions to each side and a central pedimented porch supported by stone columns. The house was built c.1849 when William Lloyd Powell bought the estate. In 1901 the estate was purchased by Edward Pritchard Martin, JP for Monmouthshire and Glamorgan, and alterations were carried out between 1904-1908. The crest over the door is that of the Martin family. In 1964 the building became a residential college.
