Alwent Hall

Alwent Hall is a large farmhouse dating to the late 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the early 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble, with some brick infill and dressed sandstone on the garden front; the roofs are mainly renewed pantiles.

The garden front was refenestrated in the early 19th century and features dressed quoins. It is a two-storey, four-bay section, with a later, slightly projecting two-storey, two-bay section to the right. A part-glazed six-panel door is set within an architrave with a keystone in the third bay from the left; the windows are four-pane sashes in raised surrounds. The steeply pitched roof has coped gables with shaped kneelers, corniced end stacks, and a similar ridge stack. A one-storey, one-bay addition to the right features a large six-pane sash window, a semicircular bread oven in its return, and a steeply pitched roof with a brick end stack. A shed attached to the right has a boarded door and a steeply pitched roof.

The rear of the house has a central projecting gabled, two-storey staircase wing flanked by later two-storey outshuts. A twelve-pane stair window with thick glazing bars and a radial head is set within a raised surround with a keystone and impost blocks; the gable has moulded coping and shaped kneelers. The irregular fenestration of the outshuts includes two two-light, flat-faced mullioned windows with eighteen-pane lights and thick glazing bars, and several six-pane sashes in raised surrounds. The two-pitch roof has coped gables with shaped kneelers.

The interior includes early to mid-18th century panelling. The Entrance Hall has built-in cupboards, six-panel doors, and two-panel window shutters. A two-flight, cut-string dogleg staircase features two turned balusters per tread and a wreathed and ramped handrail.
