Witton Hall and wall attached

Witton Hall is a house, likely originating as a grange and late 12th-century leprosy hospital built by Gilbert de la Ley, rebuilt between 1399 and 1400. It has 18th-century and later additions. The building is constructed of render with a painted plinth and ashlar dressings, with a Welsh slate roof. Attached to the front is a high wall.

The house is arranged in an L-plan. The main south-facing range has two storeys and three bays. The central entrance has three-over-three panelled doors under a four-pane overlight, flanked by three-light windows with late 20th-century glazing under segmental heads. The three first-floor sash windows have glazing bars. The roof is hipped at the right, with a rendered chimney at the left end and a chimney set slightly back from the eaves of the rear wing. The right return to the street is three storeys and three bays. The first bay is blank except for a blocked high 14th-century window with ball-flower ornament to the hollow surround of a two-centred-arched plate-tracery head, and fleur-de-lys ornament to a quatrefoil between similarly shaped heads of two lights; the lower parts of the window are rendered over, except for the moulded surround. A two-light stone-mullioned window is on the top floor of the second bay; the third bay has paired sashes with glazing bars on the ground and first floors, and a 20th-century window with glazing bars on the second floor. A two-storey, two-bay extension to the wing features similar windows, and a single-storey, one-bay extension is present. A chimney is on the rear gable. The rear elevation reveals a two-bay outshut under a catslide roof, filling the space between the wing and the main range.

A high wall extends approximately 2 metres from the right of the house. It contains a boarded door and returns, ramped down, along the right side of the garden for about 10 metres, ending in a single quoin. A rubble extension to the wall is not considered to be of significant interest.

Inside, a round-headed dripmould is visible to the ground floor at the rear of the third bay of the main range, within the rear wing. This opening is blocked and plastered; the opposite face, within the main range, exhibits a bulge suggesting a dividing mullion in the opening. A rear first-floor passage in the main range has an opening in the wall to roof space. The roof shows massive kerbed principals, and arched tie-beams with shallow graduated slots, possibly decorative. The roof was only inspected partially, and the remainder of the building's interior was not examined.
