Description

The Hall is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating to circa 1765, built on the site of an earlier building with 20th-century alterations and additions. The exterior is pebble-dashed render with painted ashlar dressings, and a stone-flagged roof with stone gable copings. The house is arranged in an H-plan with five bays on the front, and one-bay wings with front inner returns, the left of which has a single-story, one-bay projected porch.

The canted porch has architraves around a six-panel door and flanking sash windows with fine glazing bars. Similar sash windows with glazing bars are present in all front and inner return bays, except the central bay which has a scroll-bracketed cornice on the ground floor, likely indicating the original door position, and is blank above. The gabled fronts of the wings show marks in the render suggesting former windows on each floor, which are now blocked; roof parks above the front windows indicate former ground-floor window cornices, and first-floor pediments that have been removed. Ashlar banding runs along the ridge and front gable chimneys, and the roof features curved kneelers. The left return has a full-height square projecting bay, likely from the early 20th century, with sash windows and glazing bars. The rear wings are of varying dates and are slightly lower than the main building.

Inside the left part of the house is a principal staircase with two windows facing forward. It features a curved handrail on a 20th-century panelled balustrade, a wide cantilevered open-well stair with panelled soffits and a ramped dado, and a semicircular first-floor gallery. Both parts of the house have six-panel doors within architraves.
