Hall Garth

Hall Garth is a large house that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the mid to late 17th century, with some early 18th-century additions and early 19th-century alterations. The 17th-century section is built from squared limestone, while the 18th-century part features partly-roughcast coursed rubble. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate, and there are rendered stone chimney stacks.

The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of two double-depth ranges that meet at right angles. The garden front shows the 17th-century section on the right. The right wing has been reduced to one storey, while the central and left sections are two storeys plus an attic. The right wing features two fixed lights, a tripartite window in the center, and a canted bay window on the left. The upper windows are 12-pane sashes set in chamfered surrounds. The right wing has a flat roof, while the other roofs are steeply pitched with coped gables and shaped kneelers, and there are two corniced stacks on each ridge.

The left return has a replaced door with an 8-pane overlight and 12-pane sashes in chamfered surrounds. The two-storey, three-bay early 18th-century section is set back to the left and features a central six-panel door with three-pane sidelights and a segmental fanlight, all within a Roman Doric doorcase topped with a broken pediment. It has flanking canted bay windows and three 12-pane sashes above, with a corniced parapet and a steeply-pitched roof with a coped left gable. There are two ridge stacks with top bands and a two-gabled left return that has scattered sashes. An attic window on the rear of the 17th-century part features a 12-pane sash with thick glazing bars.

Inside, there is possibly a reconstructed late 17th-century dogleg staircase with four flights, featuring a moulded closed string, panelled newels, thin barley-sugar balusters (with column-on-vase balusters on the top flight), and a wide ramped handrail. The first-floor landing has three two-panel doors set in eared architraves. There are 20th-century additions at the rear of the 18th-century part, including an extruded entrance porch, which are not of special interest.
