Middleton Hall

Middleton Hall is a house dated 1807, built for the Greenwich Hospital Commissioners. The building is rendered with ashlar dressings and has a Scottish slate roof. It is two storeys high, with a main block featuring three by two bays and lower wings that project to the side and rear. The structure has a chamfered plinth and rusticated quoins.

The main entrance has 10 steps leading up to a six-panelled door set in an open Tuscan porch. The sides of the porch feature later 19th-century panels with margined glazing bars. The centre bay projects and has a pediment with rusticated quoins. The main block includes 12-pane sash windows in raised surrounds, a band above the first floor, and a moulded cornice. A datestone in the pediment bears the initials GH, which may refer to George Hughes, the first tenant, or Greenwich Hospital, along with the date 1807.

To the left, there is a narrow one-bay addition in a similar style, with a hipped roof and two ridge stacks. The rear of the building has irregular fenestration, including a round-headed stair window with intersecting glazing bars. The projecting rear wings are connected by a high stepped castellated wall that features a central round-arched carriage entry.

Inside, the hall has a broad staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. There is a fluted arch in the entrance hall, an inlaid panelled dado in the dining room, and six-panelled doors with shutters.
