Description
Legh Hall Cottage is a former hall that has been converted into a house, dating from the late 16th century with a later 17th-century rubble rebuild and some 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed squared buff sandstone rubble, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, featuring a stone ridge and one brick ridge chimney.
This is an H-plan lobby entry house, two stories high with a four-bay front. The left end bay, which is under a gable, has a five-light rubble mullioned window with a rubble hood mould. The right end bay slightly projects under a gable and contains 20th-century windows also under rubble hood moulds. To the left of the center is a projecting gabled porch with a cambered lintel, while to the right is a 20th-century window and a dormer styled in the 17th-century manner. There are two rubble mullioned windows on the right gable.
The end bays extend to the rear, revealing two timber-framed trusses with small framing and brick nogging, which may indicate that the house was originally timber framed. Legh Hall Cottage was once known as Legh Old Hall before being replaced as the main residence by Legh Hall.
