Birney Hill Hall

Birney Hill Hall is a house dating from the 17th century or early 18th century, with a reset datestone from 1701 bearing the initials R & ME, possibly for Errington. The building was altered and extended in 1907. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Tudor style. The original section on the left is a double-span building with 2½ storeys and three bays. Most of the openings were modified in 1907. The central canted two-storey bay features a Tudor-arched doorway with a hoodmould, and above it is a five-light mullioned window. On the ground floor, there are flanking four-light mullioned-and-tansomed windows, with three-light windows above. The roof has three tall original gabled dormers with diamond-paned casements and wedge lintels that mimic voussoirs. The steeply-pitched gabled roof includes 18th-century kneelers, flat coping, and corniced end stacks.

To the right, there is a two-bay extension from 1907 that matches the original style. The rear span has 18th-century masonry, but the details from 1907 reflect the Arts and Crafts style, featuring a large two-storey wood bow window and a projecting wing on the left supported by three attached Tuscan columns that hold up the jettied first floor. The interior from 1907 is noted to be of good quality.
