Hallington Hall

Hallington Hall is a country house built in 1768, with later additions and alterations from the 18th and mid-19th centuries. It was originally constructed for Ralph Soulsby and later modified for the Trevelyan family. The garden front features ashlar stone, while other areas are dressed stone, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The house has an irregular plan and stands three storeys tall.

The entrance front has five bays, with a three-bay center that includes a doorcase adorned with Ionic pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, and a pediment, which is said to have been relocated from the garden front. Flanking the entrance are Venetian windows on the ground floor. The first floor features 12-paned sash windows in raised surrounds, while the second floor has similar windows set in gabled half-dormers with kneelers. The left bay projects and has a ground-floor window with an architrave, pulvinated frieze, and cornice on consoles. A similar window was added to the slightly projecting right bay in the mid-20th century. The outer bays on the first and second floors also contain 12-pane sash windows in raised surrounds.

The gabled roof has kneelers and ridged coping, with tall stone corniced conjoined ridge and end stacks.

The garden front is characterized by rusticated quoins and has four irregular bays. The left two bays contain 12-pane sash windows in architraves, while the third bay has narrow windows also in architraves. The fourth bay features a wide two-storey canted bay window added in the mid-19th century. The second floor has gabled half-dormers.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century open-well staircase that spans three storeys, complete with panelled balusters and newels.

The house has been the home of G.M. Trevelyan since 1928.
