Description
The Hall is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the later 19th century. It is constructed of brick, with a bond pattern of paired headers and stretchers to every third course, and cut stone dressings. The roof is covered in Welsh slate.
The west front elevation has two storeys and an attic, and is arranged with five plus one bays. A toolled stone plinth runs along the base. There are eight steps with a curtail and moulded nosing leading to the centre entrance, which has wrought-iron handrails with openwork balusters and moulded newels. The double doors are within a restored stone surround featuring pilasters and a cornice, above which is a balustraded balcony supported on panelled brackets. Two original windows to the left of the porch have been replaced by a 19th-century flat-topped canted bow with plain sashes. The remaining windows are 12-pane sashes, with flat arches on the ground floor and soldier lintels on the first floor. The lower right bay has a part-glazed door in a chamfered surround to the left, and three-light mullioned-and-transomed windows under Tudor-style hoodmoulds, with those on the ground floor linked. A dentil eaves cornice runs along the top. Three 19th-century gabled dormers are visible, each with a four-pane sash window. Above and to the left of the ridge, a 19th-century timber belfry rises with paired round arches and a pyramidal slate roof. Gable ends have pitched stone coping on moulded kneelers; two banded stacks are at each end, one on either side of the ridge. The right bay has a similar eaves cornice and end gable with a reduced stack.
The left return shows a left-of-centre 19th-century canted bay with four-pane sashes. To the far left is a late 19th-century three-storey tower with renewed double doors under a round arch, four-pane sashes in pedimented stone surrounds, and a flat top with an ornamental wrought-iron balustrade. The right return and rear elevations display varied fenestration, including 12-pane sashes.
Inside, there is an open-well staircase with urn-on-vase balusters, a moulded wreathed and ramped handrail, and a curtail step.
