Description
Stretton Lower Hall is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed of brown brick with a grey slate roof. It has a symmetrical front with three storeys and two windows, featuring shaped gables to the front, with stone-coped gables elsewhere. Brick dentil bands are present at the first and second floors, the latter slightly lower to the left of the doorway. The front door is recessed within a replacement timber frame and features replaced glazing. Mullions have been removed from the windows, which are now 6-pane wood casements, likely dating from the late 19th century. Large projecting brick chimneys are situated on the end gables; the right chimney has four flues, and the left chimney has three.
The house includes a cellar with walls of coursed sandstone, containing a mullioned window now located below ground level at the rear. Interior features include chamfered ceiling beams and door cases, with carved pineapple stops. The doors are of broad oak boards, some with a recessed and moulded central board, and one door is panelled. Open fireplaces within the right-hand front parlour and an upstairs bedroom have slightly arched oak hood beams. The closed staircase has no notable features. Oak purlins and some exposed oak beams are also present. A 19th-century rear extension exists.
