Lymm Hall

Lymm Hall is a hall dating to the late 16th century, significantly restored, extended, and with its interior largely rebuilt in the mid-18th and late 19th centuries. The front and right side are built of buff coloured, regularly coursed sandstone, while the rear is of stone-dressed brick. The roofs are covered in graded slate, with stone chimneys. The north front is in an "E" shape. It features a balustraded porch with a segmental vault and a boarded oak door. Three-light mullioned and transomed windows are present on either side of the porch. The upper storey of the central portion has recessed sashes in two-light mullioned openings. A plain parapet rises in two steps to projecting gabled wings, which have three-light mullioned windows with recessed sashes in the lower storey, three-light mullioned and transomed windows in the upper storey, and a single-light window in each gable. The west side has recessed sashes in two-light mullioned openings to the lower storey. A projecting chimney is present, with a corbel table below the parapet and three attached square flues. A canted four-light oriel has been inserted or restored behind this chimney. The rear two metres of the west face project slightly. The south front, likely dating from the mid-17th century, is constructed of red-brown brick on a one-metre flush stone plinth and has an irregular plan with flush-mullioned window openings under labels. The windows are informally disposed, with a recessed gable of one window to the left, a central portion of three windows (including a stair window), and a right gable featuring a two-storey canted bay window with sashes in four-light mullioned openings. A Victorian wing, in a Jacobean-classical style, is situated to the right of the south front, incorporating a mullioned bow and a French window with sidelights, set under a balustraded Doric cornice. A 19th-century service wing hides the east side of the hall. Inside, only three ovolo oak beams are present in the hall, along with an early 19th-century stair with a trellis balustrade; no other pre-Victorian features remain visible.
