Urpeth Hall, Eastwood And Westacre

Urpeth Hall, together with the wings of Westacre and Eastwood, is a large house now divided into three dwellings. The central block, likely dating from the mid-18th century, is flanked by wings constructed around 1890, with further rear wings added during the 19th century in several phases. The main block (Urpeth Hall) contains classical interiors dating from around 1890, designed by Sopwith and Sons. The building is constructed of painted roughcast stone with Welsh slate roofs, and is arranged in a reversed U-plan with wings projecting from a central block.

The three-storey, five-bay central block features a central 19th-century stone porch. It has late 19th-century window surrounds with projecting sills, most windows being replaced sashes, with small square casements to the second floor, also replaced. The roof has a steep pitch with coped gables, shaped kneelers and end stacks. The two-storey wing to the left has a shallow, four-bay bowed front with similar window arrangement. It has a semi-conical roof over the bowed front and a steeply-pitched roof behind, with a coped left gable and an end stack. The long, single-storey wing to the right has a canted stone bay window on the front and a curved right return under a semi-conical roof.

The rear wings have replaced sashes, steeply-pitched roofs and end stacks. The two-storey, three-bay left wing has a lower addition to the rear. The three-storey, four-bay right wing has a two-storey, two-bay addition to the rear.

The interior of the main block (Urpeth Hall) retains some classical interiors dating from around 1890, including six-panel doors and moulded plaster ceilings. The entrance hall has a Doric screen. The domed staircase hall, lit by a glazed lantern, has a cantilevered geometrical staircase with two turned balusters per tread and a wreathed handrail. An oval room in the right wing and two rooms in the left wing also feature classical decoration. C20 additions to the rear of both rear wings are not considered to be of special interest.
