Over Tabley Hall

House, built around 1760, likely adapting an earlier structure. The house is constructed from red English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. It is two storeys high, with a three-storey tower. The architectural style is Gothick. The front of the house has nine bays arranged symmetrically, with a slightly projecting central tower of three storeys. Pilasters flank the tower, extending to its full height, and have sunken panels containing evenly spaced round stone flower decorations. The entablature above the pilasters features a zig-zag pattern made from alternating stretchers. A sunken panel with similar flower decorations is set into the frieze, above which is a stone cornice. The gable above has stone crocketed pinacles at the apex and above the pilasters. A central pointed-arched doorway on the ground floor has brick voussoirs and a sunken panel with flower decorations similar to those on the pilasters and frieze, and features a glazed door. A large pointed-arched first floor sash window, divided into five panes across and five panes high, has interlacing sash bars at the top and an exposed sash box decorated with wooden flower decorations, which are smaller versions of those on the stone pilasters and frieze. A similar window on the second floor is divided into three panes across and three panes high. To either side of the central tower are two bays with Gothick windows featuring sash windows of three panes across and three panes high with interlacing sash bars at the tops, and exposed sash boxes with flower ornaments. A doorway has been added to the first bay on the right-hand side. The entablature above is similar to that at the top of the tower and has similar crocketed pinnacles. Lean-to extensions, built with matching materials, are situated at the extreme right and left of the front. The right-hand lean-to has Gothick windows and a sash window of three panes across and four panes high to the ground floor, and a flat-lintelled sash window of three panes across and four panes high to the first floor. The left-hand lean-to has all flat-lintelled windows of varying sizes.
