Description

Parr Hall is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It is dated 1721 at the first floor and was remodeled in 1934. The building is constructed of handmade brick and features a slate roof with a chimney at the right gable. It has a double-depth, two-bay plan, with an added rear wing. Originally three storeys high, it has been reduced to two storeys and an attic, and it presents an almost symmetrical facade.

The exterior includes a chamfered stone plinth and dressed sandstone bands at the first floor and eaves level, with small raised quoins. The entrance, offset to the left of center, features a door with shouldered panels and a semi-circular canopy supported by carved wooden consoles, both of which replicate original designs. Above the door, there is a datestone in a moulded surround, inscribed with "P E I TP 1721" and surrounded by slender foliated patterns. To the left, each floor has one large transomed three-light window with a gauged segmental brick head and altered glazing. To the right, there are two vertical rectangular windows on each floor, with similar heads; the first on the ground floor has been altered to serve as a door, while the others have modified glazing.

The left gable features modern windows on each floor and the attic. The rear of the building has a large two-and-a-half-storey wing that was added in the 19th century to accommodate horse-drawn buses, with a modern flight of stone steps leading up to a first-floor entrance. Inside, the property boasts tongue-stopped chamfered beams and a three-storey dog-legged staircase with a closed modelled string, shouldered-panel rectangular newels, turned balusters, and a broad moulded handrail.

Local climate

Parr Hall sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,220 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
