Description
Slade Hall is a small manor house, now serving as Housing Association offices, with a date of 1585 inscribed over the doorway. The building has been enlarged, restored, and altered over time. It features a timber frame set on a stone plinth, with brick additions at the rear and a slate roof. The layout follows a hall-and-crosswing plan, with a porch located at the angle and a 19th-century wing added to the right of the original structure.
The house has two low storeys, with the upper floor and gables jettied. The exterior displays stud-and-rail framing, notable for its herring-bone bracing arranged in zig-zag patterns and some quatrefoil panels. The wide porch includes a doorway on the right with a studded door and strap hinges, where two of the studs above the coving are inscribed with "1585" and "ES". The first floor features two 4-light wooden mullioned casements with a quatrefoil panel between them, and the gable is adorned with small diamond panelling painted as quatrefoils, likely from the 19th century, along with a restored gable finial. The left side of the porch has glazing inserted in two of the diagonal panels between the braces.
To the left, the hall-range includes a large 14-light mullion-and-transom window (which has been restored), a 3-light window immediately to the right, and a 10-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor. The gable of the crosswing on the right features projected mullion-and-transom windows with 10 lights at ground floor and 12 lights at first floor, along with an inserted mullion-and-transom window to the left at ground floor and a king-post gable truss with raked struts.
Inside, the hall has been altered but retains some exposed timber framing. The first floor showcases unusually extensive moulded plaster friezes that include shields of arms with supporters (the arms of Elizabeth and "ES") and stag-hunting scenes, among other decorations.
