Hill House is located in a prominent setting close to Saint Paul's Church. This house was once the home of Charlotte Brontë's husband, Mr. Nicholls, who returned to Banagher after Charlotte's death. The connection of the house to Brontë, one of the most renowned writers of the nineteenth century, is revealed in its commercial name, Charlotte's Way, giving the house cultural interest. The house itself retains its original form and scale, and its unusual roof line makes a pleasing addition to the streetscape.
