[2] With an entrance onto the village High Street in Hilton, in the district of Huntingdonshire, the hall is a brick-built gentleman's house first built in the early 17th century.
It has three storeys, and the ground plan takes the shape of a letter T. The front elevation has an 18th-century facade.
A 20th-century one-storey extension to the rear of the house also has 18th-century panelling, which came from the nearby Park Farm when it was demolished.
[3] Standing to the south of the main house is a fine square dovehouse with a hipped pyramid roof, believed to date from the late 17th century.
[3] According to one account, Hilton Hall was built for Robert Walpole, gentleman, who still owned it when he died in 1699 aged 100.
