Harrytown Hall

Harrytown Hall is a house, later converted into flats, dating from 1671, with significant alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoined corners and ashlar dressings, and features a red brick wing built in Flemish bond. The roofs are covered with slate and clay tiles, with coped gables, ball finials, and brick and stone stacks, some of which have stone chimney pots.

The original layout was an H-shape, and the house is two storeys high with attics. The main block is flanked by two symmetrical crosswings, the right-hand one extended in 1776 and again in 1864, with a further extension to the rear. The front façade has a projecting plinth and continuous storey bands to the first and second floors. The central porch has a chamfered door opening below a two-light, double-chamfered mullioned window, and a similar single-light attic opening. The flanking openings in the main range are four-light, cavetto-moulded, full-height mullion and transom windows, added when the floor was removed to create an open hall. The left-hand wing features two and three-light windows, with the upper ones missing mullions, and a single-light ground floor opening. To the right-hand side of the gable, a lower, T-plan addition from the 19th century is attached, with a circular quatrefoil window in a centrally advanced gable. The advanced 18th-century brick wing to the right has a two-storey canted bay with blocked windows and a dentilled eaves cornice to the gable end. The side walls have sash windows, some of which are 20th-century replacements.

Various 19th-century additions, constructed in different phases, are arranged picturesquely and incorporate a pyramidally-roofed oriel, square and canted bay windows with traceried lights, dormer gables, bold ashlar corbels to a first-floor bay, and other enrichments typical of the High Victorian Gothic style.

The interior has undergone considerable remodelling, but retains a fine 19th-century fire surround to the open hall, which is now galleried.
