Description
Lisieux Hall Hospital is a large house dating from the 17th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of dressed sandstone and features a three-span hipped slate roof, with one chimney on the front ridge and another at the rear. The building has a square plan consisting of three parallel ranges, all originally from the 17th century but mostly encased with new walls in the early 19th century.
The structure is two storeys tall, with attics in the rear ranges. The symmetrical facade has seven bays, a first-floor band, a modillioned cornice, and a plain parapet. At the center, there is a Tuscan tetrastyle porch with a pulvinated frieze, a modillioned cornice, and a blocking course. Beneath this porch is a stone doorcase with engaged Ionic columns.
All windows are tall and have altered glazing. The second and third bays of the left return wall are gabled and retain 17th-century features, including a chamfered plinth, hollow chamfered dripcourses on two levels, and double-chamfered stone mullioned windows across three floors. In the second bay, there is the hoodmould of a cellar window, a ground floor window that was formerly mullioned and transomed with 12 lights (only the king mullion remains), a first-floor six-light window with a king mullion, and an attic four-light window with a hoodmould. The third bay has a square ground floor window that was formerly mullioned and transomed, a four-light window at the first floor, and a three-light attic window with a hoodmould.
The right return wall features a central two-storey canted bay that rises to the parapet, which has a gable with kneelers and finials; the flanking bays have wide canted bays at the ground floor. The interior has been altered, but some 17th-century beams remain, and there are two rooms with panelling dating from around 1700—one on the ground floor of the front range and another on the first floor of the rear range.
