Description

Hebburn Hall is a masonic club, largely dating from the 1790s, with some fabric from an earlier house in the western part, and alterations made in 1819. It was originally built for the Ellison family, and may have been designed by William Newton, with later alterations by John Dobson. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof, and is arranged in a U-shaped plan. It has three storeys and nine windows to the garden front, and five to each return.

The south elevation, which faces the garden, has a pedimented central three-bay projection. This contains a six-panelled door to the left, flanked by a large fanlight. A similar door is centrally located in the right three bays. The glazing bars in the fanlights match those of the windows, and all doors and windows have architraves; the ground and first floors of the south elevation have cornices with bracketed pediments above specific windows. Horizontal bands and an eaves cornice run along the south elevation. The right return elevation has similar windows and a central Venetian double door with a stilted fanlight and bracketed pediment above the window. The left return elevation has a central door with a three-pane oblong fanlight. Mid-19th century bay windows are located on either side of this door. Bands are present at the second floor level, and an eaves cornice tops the building. The hipped roof features four corniced ashlar stacks across the ridges, with three at the rear. The west wing incorporates extensive cellars.

The interior includes cornices to the hall and upper hall, as well as a 19th-century balustrade to the open well staircase. A room to the left of the entrance features ceiling decorations with stucco floral motifs, likely executed by the Rose family. The manor on which the hall stands was acquired by the Ellison family in 1650.
