Denton Hall

Denton Hall is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with later alterations. It features roughcast masonry and a roof made of concrete ridged tiles, along with stone chimney stacks. The main block is flanked by set-back extensions and was originally three storeys high, but was reduced to two storeys around 1967. The garden front has five bays, with a central four-panel door and overlight set within an architrave. The windows include two- and four-pane sashes in raised surrounds. The roof has been renewed with coped gables and shaped kneelers, and the end stacks have been rebuilt. The left extension is two storeys and one bay wide, featuring a tripartite sash window and a four-pane sash above, both in raised surrounds. The right extension, now a garage, has a blocked segmental archway and a monopitch roof. The rear of the main block has scattered sashes and a round-arched stair window with an intersecting-tracery head. Inside, there is a four-flight cut-string dogleg staircase with two turned balusters per tread and a ramped square-section handrail. The dining room retains its original cornice and has two niche-cupboards in round-arched pilaster surrounds, complete with shaped shelves and partly-glazed two-panel doors.
