Legh Hall

Legh Hall is an early to mid-18th century hall, later used as a house, with additions from the late 19th century and alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with yellow brick headers. The roof is covered in Welsh slate, and there are two gable brick chimneys. The front facade is symmetrical, with five bays arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern, and extends over two and a half stories. A chamfered plinth and a modillion cornice are present. The end bays contain 12-pane sash windows set within flat, gauged brick heads, featuring stone keyblocks and sills. Two 20th-century gabled half-dormers break through the cornice. The central bay projects slightly, featuring an eared architrave with a raised keyblock above the door, which itself has eight lozenge-shaped panels with raised fields. A 12-pane sash window sits above the door. To the left, two late 19th-century bays have been added, with large windows featuring fixed glazing bars. There are also substantial additions to the rear of the building. Internally, there is an oak dogleg staircase with turned column balusters and a shaped handrail. Some 2-panelled doors with raised fields are present, along with a 17th-century 6-panelled door leading to the cellar. The later extensions incorporate early 20th-century French-style fireplaces.
