Description
Styford Hall is a country house built around 1800, with the rear wings reduced in height and other alterations made around 1965. The building is constructed of stone with a pebbledashed finish, featuring rusticated quoins and raised tooled-and-margined dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has a rectangular shape with rear wings flanking a yard.
The south front of the house is three storeys high and consists of five symmetrical bays. It has a plinth, a ground floor sill band, and a first floor sill band that appears only in the centre bay. The slightly projecting centre features a six-panel door flanked by four-pane lights and a radial-glazed fanlight, all set within a three-centred arch in a panelled surround with a hoodmould supported by moulded corbels. Above this is a plain ashlar panel. The first floor has a 12-pane sash window, while the second floor has a 6-pane sash window, both in panelled surrounds. A moulded wood pediment crowns the entrance. The flanking bays have quoins and feature tripartite sashes, which are shortened on the second floor. The upper floor windows are 20th-century enlargements of older openings. The end bays have tripartite ground-floor sashes with 12-pane and 6-pane sashes above. The hipped roof is adorned with two stepped-and-banded ridge stacks.
The returns of the building each display a tripartite ground floor sash and two 12-pane first floor sashes. The left return also includes a half-glazed door with a Gothick fanlight beneath a round-arched head. The rear elevation features two large 20-pane sash stair windows with Gothick glazing under four-centred arched heads. The rear wings contain sash windows, some of which have been renewed; the north-east wing has a flush-panelled door with a radial-glazed overlight located in the courtyard.
