Description
Great Mitton Hall is a house dating from about 1600. The exterior is of rubble construction, with a pebbledashed finish on the south-west side, and has a steep slate roof. The building is two storeys with an attic and a cellar. Original windows are mullioned, with an outer chamfer and an inner hollow chamfer. A single-storey gabled porch is situated near the centre of the south-west wall, featuring a re-used doorway, likely from the 14th century, with a pointed head and a roll moulding with a fillet. The porch is topped with a coping and finial. To the right of the porch is a single-storey gabled extension, retaining the remains of a hood over what was once a blocked first-floor window. To the left is a visible line denoting a demolished wing, suggesting the porch is an addition. An enlarged three-light window is visible to the left, alongside a five-light window on the first floor. Gable copings are present, with finials on the left-hand gable. The north-west gable retains hood mouldings on the first floor and an attic window with a single light remaining, along with a chimney with a brick cap. The right-hand gable is buttressed and incorporates a mullioned cellar window, a 14-light mullioned and transomed ground-floor window, a seven-light first-floor window and a five-light attic window.
A turret is located at the left-hand end of the north-east wall, it is gabled with a coping and finial. Chamfered window openings at intermediate levels suggest a former staircase within the turret. The turret has a two-light window with a hood on the first floor and a similar blocked window in the attic. The return wall of the turret has a re-set wooden door surround with a triangular head. A Buckler drawing from 1809 depicts a doorway in this return wall, which is now blocked. A gabled dormer, with a blocked window and a hood, and a small chimney cap, is located near the centre of this facade. On the ground floor to the right is an original window, retaining a single mullion. Above this is a four-light window with a hood, with a three-light window to its left. Numerous blocked window openings are present, but the four remaining windows are 19th century and have chamfered stone surrounds. The entrance door has a chamfered stone surround with a hood.
The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey and is reported to contain no features of particular interest.
