Description
Seghill Hall is a house built around 1830, which was extended and remodeled internally in 1908. It features tooled stone with ashlar plinths and dressings, while the east wing is made of squared stone. The roof is primarily covered with blue slate, except for the extension which has purple slates.
The south elevation has two storeys and is divided into two sections. The left part consists of three bays plus one, with the original house occupying the three left bays. It has a plinth and pilasters, with a narrower central bay that is slightly recessed above a distyle-in-antis porch, which includes a doorcase with fluted pilasters. The windows are plate-glass sash with slightly projecting sills. There is an eaves cornice with paired brackets supporting the overhanging eaves, and a hipped roof with a stepped-and-corniced ridge stack. The flat-roofed right bay is a 1908 addition designed to match the original style.
The right part, which is set back, is the 1908 east wing, consisting of three bays plus one, with a simpler design and similar window style. Its roof is hipped to the right, featuring stepped-and-corniced stacks on both the ridge and the front roof slope. The left return has two wide two-window bays, maintaining the same detail and fenestration as the original south front. The rear elevation includes a canted bay from 1908 and a large segmental-headed stair window, along with a projecting two-storey wing from the 19th century on the far left.
Inside, there is an open-well stair from 1908, with a stair window that displays miners' tools and the motto "LABOR VINCIT OMNIA."
