Bache Hall

A small country house, dating from circa 1720, now used as a hospital beauty centre. The building has undergone alterations and additions in the early 19th century and late 19th century, with a 20th-century conversion. It is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The building has a painted chamfered plinth and a first-floor cill band. The roof features a plain brick parapet with ashlar coping. The structure is two storeys plus attics.

The south-east elevation has five windows and a slightly projecting centre. An Edwardian stone porch with Doric pilasters and round arches sits centrally, topped with a deeply moulded entablature. The inner doorway has double-panelled doors with side lights. To the left of the porch are two glazing bar sash windows, the lower of which are 20th-century replacements without brick lintels. Above the central French doors, which lead to the porch balcony, are two glazing bar sashes to the right and a small Edwardian sash and a 20th-century sash to the left, again without brick lintels. The central projection has a painted attic floor topped with a pediment and a two-light casement window.

The south-west front features a central two-storey bowed window with a large tripartite glazing bar sash window on the ground floor, and two smaller glazing bar sashes above. To the right is a two-storey canted bay window with three glazing bar sashes to each floor, and to the left a large tripartite glazing bar sash, with two smaller glazing bar sashes above.

The north-east elevation has a three-storey stuccoed early 19th-century wing with 20th-century replacement casement windows, and a brick three-storey Edwardian wing to the right with glazing bar sashes.

The interior includes an early 18th-century staircase in the main entrance hall. The staircase has elaborately carved tread ends, two turned balusters per tread, turned newels, a ramped and moulded handrail. The staircase hall contains original six-panel doors in panelled surrounds and dentilated plaster coving. Most rooms retain panelled shutters, good panelled doors and panelled doorcases; some rooms also have moulded plaster coving. A first-floor south-west room retains its dado panelling and moulded doorcase.
