Hoppyland Hall

Hoppyland Hall is a house that is now a ruin, likely dating from the 16th century, with additions and alterations from the late 17th century and late 18th century, culminating in a Gothic castle style. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has two storeys with four bays. A round tower projects from the second bay, while a square tower extends from the fourth bay. The door in the tower features a Tudor-arched surround and is situated beneath a large sash window with glazing bars. Above this, there is a blocked Maltese-cross arrow slit, and the tower is topped with an embattled parapet. The round tower has a single arrow slit at its top, below a corbelled embattled parapet. The ground floor features wide window openings in the first and third bays, which have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. Other architectural details are obscured by climbing trees. Inside, there is a late 16th-century segmental-arched moulded fire surround in the rear wall of the left rear room. At the time of the survey, the hall was derelict and overgrown.
