Description
Woolsington Hall is a house dating from the third quarter of the 17th century, with late 18th century and early 19th century wings. The building is rendered with painted ashlar dressings and quoins, and it features a graduated Lakeland slate roof with stone gable copings. It is two storeys high with three bays and l-bay wings.
There are five wide square steps leading to a central renewed door that is set in a broad roll-moulded surround. Similar surrounds are found under shell-patterned segmental pediments above a two-light window over the door and three-light windows in the outer bays. The ground floor has wooden mullions and transoms, while the first floor features ovolo-moulded stone with a linking drip string. The quoined angle pilasters are topped with ball finials, and there is a coped parapet. Urn finials sit above flush quoins on the blank wings, which also have coped parapets. The steeply-pitched double-span roof includes two valley and two end chimneys, while the wings have flat roofs.
At the rear, there is a central first floor Venetian window with broad glazing bars, along with cross windows above and to the right, the latter being blind. Attached to the northwest is a wall that is about 8 metres long, constructed of coursed squared sandstone with a flat coping and a tile course running through on the garden side.
