Description

Lovely Hall is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in 1735 and 1874. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The original structure features projecting cross wings on either side of a recessed central range, and it is two storeys high. The facade includes a band below the parapet adorned with urns, which extends as gable copings to the cross wings, added in 1735.

The left cross wing has a 10-light mullioned and transomed window that is hollow-chamfered, with an outer chamfer and a hood. On the first floor, there are two sash windows without glazing bars. The central range has three bays, with 8-light windows on the ground floor similar to those in the cross wing, and sash windows without glazing bars on the first floor. A single-storey porch in the central bay features a parapet that steps up over a shaped door lintel, above which is a plaque inscribed with 'LGNS 1874'. Flanking the porch are lead downspouts with hopper heads inscribed 'IWT 1735'.

The right cross wing includes a two-storey canted bay window with mullions and transoms, dating from 1874, and to its right is a gabled addition from the same year, which also has a 10-light mullioned and transomed window on each floor. The house has chimneys on the ridge of the left cross wing, to the right of the porch, and to the right of the right cross wing. Inside, the door opens against a fireplace dated 1874, which retains part of a stone arch dated 1712 or 1713. No other notable architectural features were visible during the survey.
