Description

Cramlington Hall is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of squared stone with ashlar dressings, with a roughly-squared stone basement and service wing. The west wing has lakeland slates and two old brick stacks, while the south end of the east wing also has slate. The main block and the remainder of the east wing are covered with 20th-century tiles. The house has a main block with rear wings flanking a yard, and a service wing set back to the right. It is designed in a Palladian style.

The south elevation is divided into four sections. The main block is two storeys high, with a slightly projecting basement, and has five bays arranged symmetrically. Sill and first-floor bands, along with a modillion eaves cornice, are present. A 20th-century staircase leads to a renewed glazed door with a four-pane overlight, set within an architrave with swept feet and a moulded cornice supported by carved consoles. The windows are 12-pane sash windows in architraves, with later basement casements. The roof is hipped, with two low corniced stacks on the ridge. To the right and left of the main block, the wings are set back slightly and each have two storeys and two bays, mirroring the details of the main block except for 20th-century small-paned casements. These wings have separate hip-ended roofs. The two-storey, three-bay service wing is set back to the far right and features renewed casements. The left return of the left wing has five bays and an irregular layout, with half-glazed double doors within a renewed corniced doorcase and 12-pane sash windows, along with two corniced ridge stacks. The rear elevation of the main block features a central three-bay projection and some 12-pane sashes.

The interior has been much altered, and includes round-arched openings in the basement. The west wing contains late 19th-century fittings.

A west wing extension, now a separate dwelling called The Cottage, dates to the 19th century and has been extensively altered; it is not of special interest. A datestone reading 'A.D. 1100' is present but is misleading.
