Hepscott Hall

The house at Hepscott Hall dates primarily to the late 17th century, likely incorporating an earlier structure. A small 18th-century extension was added, and alterations were made. The roof was restored to what is believed to be its original form following a fire around 1965. The front elevation is constructed of squared and tooled stone, while other elevations feature roughly-squared stone with cut quoins; old brick stacks are present. The roofs are generally flat asphalt, with the exception of Welsh slates on the 18th-century extension and tiles on the pantry.

The house is arranged in a T-plan, with a three-storey main block and a four-storey tower at the rear. The south elevation is three storeys high and five bays wide, with a slightly irregular appearance. A central, right-of-centre door is set within a 17th-century chamfered surround with a segmental-pointed head; the wall above the door is obscured by ivy. Flanking bays contain inserted 12-pane sash windows, while the end bays have chamfered single-light windows with small-paned casements on the upper floors. Traces of blocked windows are visible below these upper-floor windows. A flat-coped parapet tops the elevation. A lean-to pantry is located to the far left, featuring a blocked door and a small window.

The left return shows a blocked 17th-century window on the first floor, alongside an 18th-century extension to the rear with a 16-pane sash window.

The rear of the main block features blocked single-light windows and plain stacks rising from the parapet. The tower, projecting to the left of centre, incorporates a 20th-century door and two small, old chamfered lights on the ground floor. Above are a 12-pane sash window, a three-light mullioned window with old fixed casements, and a single-light chamfered window. A plain parapet tops the tower. A chamfered flat-pointed doorway and a small chamfered window are found on the rear elevation of the tower, facing the main block’s roof.

Inside, the hall fireplace has a chamfered surround with a flattened triangular head. Similar, smaller fireplaces are reportedly concealed on the upper floors. The ground floor of the 18th-century extension contains a segmental brick vault. A dog-leg closed-string staircase is located within the tower, featuring vase-on-urn balusters, a moulded handrail, and panelled newels. Some two-panel doors are present, and panelled shutters are fitted to the sash windows.
