Antrobus Hall, Garden Wall And Gatepiers

Antrobus Hall is a house dating from 1709, with a later wing added around 1760. It is constructed of red English garden wall bond brick with a stone flagged roof. The main house is two storeys with an attic and basement, and features a slightly staggered five-bay entrance front to the ground floor, narrowing to four bays on the first floor. The central doorway has splayed wood surround, an original door with six raised and fielded panels and a dated door knocker. There are two-light casement windows to either side of the entrance on the ground floor, and four unevenly sized two-light casement windows on the first floor, with replacement brickwork suggesting that three of the windows originally extended lower. A string course runs between the floor of ovolo-moulded brick. The southeast front reveals a basement due to the sloping ground, and features raised bands of single bricks delineating the basement, ground floor, and first floor. Basement windows are located to the far left and right, with similar windows on the ground and first floors; the right-hand first-floor window is wider with a flat splayed head. A wing to the left, dating from around 1760, incorporates 20th-century French windows to the basement and segment-headed windows to the first floor with stone capping to the walls and the gable, and a later gable chimney. The northwestern front is similar to the southeast front, but with three basement windows, one of which is bricked in. The rear elevation includes a gabled staircase turret. All windows are 20th-century replacements.

Inside, the hall retains a stone flagged floor and panelled overdoor. The parlour features bolection moulded panelling, possibly slightly later than the main house. The basement kitchen has a bressumer to an ingle nook fireplace. The staircase has rectangular panelled posts with dropped finials and flat caps, and balusters with knopped and spiral twisted bodies. Original fielded panelled doors are present on both the ground and first floors.

Adjoining the house are garden walls and gatepiers constructed of red English garden wall bond brick with stone cappings. A rectangular enclosure is located to the front of the house. The gatepiers, aligned with the front door, have moulded plinths, rusticated stonework, cyma moulded caps with drum finials and domed gadroomed tops, supporting flattened balls (one ball replaced). A 20th-century arched gateway is positioned to the left of the wall, with 20th-century wrought iron gates to both openings.
