Description

Chorlton Old Hall is a house built in 1666, with later additions and alterations at the rear. It features red-brown brick and a slate roof, arranged in a T-plan over 2½ storeys. The front has four bays, including a projecting right-hand bay with a shaped gable and a smaller entrance bay with a similar gable. The windows are rectangular timber casements, mostly replaced, set in cambered openings with tile cills. There is a blocked opening with a cambered head at attic level in the right-hand bay, along with two added dormers in the first and third bays. The front door has been replaced, but the original door remains behind it. Architectural details include a chamfered stone plinth, a dentillated band at the first floor, and a brick parapet with stone coping on the left side gable. The house has brick stacks, one projecting from the left side and another at the rear of the central ridge with three diagonally set flues. There are small blocked openings with arched heads at the first floor on the right side.

Inside, there is a studded door with iron fittings that features an inscription reading "In the time of Owen Clutton 1666 AC" above it. The interior includes stop-chamfered beams, an inglenook fireplace, and a close string staircase with flat pierced balusters, a moulded rail, and square moulded newels, the bottom newel bearing the Clutton arms.
