Esh Hall

Esh Hall is a house that underwent rebuilding in 1857, likely incorporating elements from a house built around 1687, with an early 20th-century extension. The building features irregular courses of squared sandstone, a rubble rear wing, and an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings and is designed in a T-plan.

The garden front has two storeys and three bays, with the third bay slightly projecting under a front gable. It includes late 19th-century sash windows in a central stone-mullioned corniced canted bay and in the left window, which is framed by an architrave under a scroll pediment. Above, there are sill bands to 20th-century sashes flanking an eroded sundial with pilasters and a cornice. To the right, there is a square ground-floor bay window featuring alternate-block rustication and a stone-mullioned overlight on a cornice. Above this is a pilastered parapet in front of paired late 19th-century sashes under a 19th-century scrolled pediment with a raised central panel. The gables have overlapping copings with ball finials on the right front gable, and there are corniced ashlar chimneys on external stacks on the returns and at the right of the second bay on the ridge. The right return has a six-panel door and overlight under a scrolled pediment. The gabled rear wing features a blocked chamfered flat-Tudor-arched door under a stone mask and dripmould, with a re-used scrolled pediment on one window in the gable peak.

The 20th-century left extension is one storey with two bays, flat stone lintels, and projecting stone sills.

Inside, there are architraves, four-panelled doors, and some panelled window shutters. The cellar shows re-used rafters, some with carpenter's marks and stopped chamfers, serving as joists. A panelled stucco beam along the centre of the left two bays suggests that earlier fabric remains.
