Description
Bailey Hall is a 17th-century house constructed from slobbered rubble and topped with a slate roof. It features a T-plan layout, with the south wing likely added in the 18th century. The building has two storeys and an attic. The 17th-century wing displays a weathered plinth and double-chamfered mullioned windows. The north front includes continuous drip courses on both floors. To the left of the entrance door is a single-light window, while to the right is a three-light window, although two of its lights are blocked. Further right, at a lower level, is a blocked two-light window that originally lit the stairwell. On the first floor, there are two cross windows, with the right-hand one blocked. Another similar window, with two blocked lights, is positioned further right and lower down, also lighting the stair. Above this is a blocked two-light mullioned window with a hood. The entrance door features a chamfered surround with a four-centred head.
The west gable has two two-light mullioned windows, with the left one blocked, and a continuous drip course on the ground floor. The first floor has two cross windows, the left one also blocked, and above is a two-light mullioned attic window with a hood. The east gable contains a blocked transomed window on the first floor and an attic window with plain reveals. The rear (south) wall of the main house shows a two-light mullioned window with a hood on the ground floor and a six-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor, which has a hood and two blocked lights. The west wall of the rear wing features squared blocks on its lower part with rubble above. The doorway here has plain reveals, and there is a reconstructed chamfered window surround with a mullion. The south gable is watershot, as is the east wall, which has a former five-light double-chamfered mullioned window with one missing mullion.
Inside, the rear wing contains a shouldered 18th-century fireplace with a moulded mantel and segmental head. The main block has a large internal chimney stack in its east room, although it currently has no fireplace. The only visible remnants of a broad 17th-century stair are the moulded handrail and a newel.
