Description
Hall o' th' Hill is a large house, likely built in the early to mid-17th century, although a date of 1724 has been suggested by Fleetwood-Hesketh. It has been altered and is now used as a Golf Club. The building is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a slate roof with projecting eaves and a bracketed cornice, along with two chimneys on the ridge. The house has a symmetrical rectangular five-bay plan, having previously been L-shaped before the rear wing was demolished.
It stands three storeys high with a chamfered plinth and drip courses. The distinctive facade includes flanking five-sided three-storey bay windows at either end, which are glazed continuously. The windows are double chamfered and feature mullions, with transoms on the ground floor. The outer bays have four-light windows, while the centre has six-light windows, corresponding to two and three-light windows above. The doorway is framed by a moulded architrave.
On the left and right return walls, there are large mullioned and transomed ground floor windows with six and eight lights, respectively. Each side also has a stepped three-light mullioned window with a stepped hoodmould at the second floor, and a hollow chamfered bullseye with hollow spandrels above. At the first floor, the right return wall features a four-light mullioned window with a hoodmould, while the left has a sashed window. At the rear, there is a shortened staircase wing with mullioned and transomed windows on three levels.
Inside, the interior has been altered, but large quarter-round moulded beams, typical of the early to mid-17th century, can be seen on all floors.
