Colshaw Hall

Colshaw Hall is a house dated 1903, situated just off Stocks Lane in Peverel Superior. The house is constructed of red English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. It is designed in a Tudor Gothic style.

The garden front features a three-storey canted bay to the left, with stone dressings to the angles and stone copings with ball finials to the apex and lower corners. It has a four-light casement window to the ground floor centre, flanked by two-light casements, all with chamfered stone mullions and decorated leaded lights. A string course extends across the front. Similar windows are found on the first floor, with a three-light window to the gable. To the right of the bay are three bays at first floor level, each with two-light casement windows with stone surrounds, mullions, and gables above. The ground floor has a three-light casement window to the left and a seven-light casement to the right. A slightly projecting gabled bay to the right has two two-light windows to the ground floor, stone dressings, and a central off-set buttress. An oriel window sits above the first floor, with moulded stone dressings. A square datestone is positioned above the oriel. The gable above has stone kneelers and ball finials to the sides and apex. A C20 conservatory is attached to the left.

The entrance front has a projecting wing to the left with a stone base and a canted bay with a two-light casement to the ground floor centre, flanked by single lights. A parapet with stone dressings sits above, surmounted by a gable with stone coping and a finial. The right-hand side of the wing features a doorway with a stone surround and arch, with buttress projections on either side diminishing into decorative band of semi-octagonal strips. An angled oriel window is above the first floor, with brattished coping and a decorated finial. Two two-light casement windows are to the right of this, with a single-light window at ground floor. The main facade to the right has a doorway with a semicircular stone arch, with a single-light window to the left and a three-light window to the right at ground-floor level. Further windows are arranged symmetrically above, with a single light to the left-hand corner, two two-light casements over the door, and two single-lights to the right. A canted oriel sits to the right, supported on an off-set buttress with an angled gable above topped by a stone finial. An attic gabled dormer with a three-light stone surround is above the doorway. A projecting service wing is located to the right.
