Willington Hall And Attached Outbuilding

Willington Hall is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, possibly incorporating elements from an earlier building, as indicated by the owner's deeds from 1640. The main structure features a range of buildings with a front added to the left part. The main façade is finished in painted rough render with painted ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The attached outbuilding on the right is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins and brick or ashlar dressings, featuring a roof of pantiles and five rows of stone slates at the eaves, along with brick chimneys.

The house is designed in a Gothic style and consists of two storeys with three bays, the central bay projecting slightly. The façade is symmetrical, featuring a central boarded door with a blocked fanlight set in a flattened ogee-headed raised surround beneath a square-headed panel. The outer bays have similar ogee surrounds and sash windows with traceried glazing bars; the first-floor windows are smaller and have projecting stone sills. Above the central bay, there is a small blocked opening of a similar shape in a battlemented gable, and the outer bays are topped with a battlemented parapet. A first-floor band runs across the front, and the roof slopes down to a valley gutter behind the parapet, with a ridge over the rear part. The outbuilding on the right has a roof that extends forward to form a catslide, with an inserted window and a renewed door on the left side.

Inside, there is a staircase with a ramped handrail leading to the first-floor landing and upper flight, featuring hardboard-covered stick balusters and block tread ends. The ground floor front windows have keyed architraves, and the architraves and panelled reveals are present on six-panelled doors throughout the Gothic section. The older part of the building has high plain stone fire lintels.
