Standen Hall

Standen Hall is a country house that was rebuilt in 1757, with a west wing added around 1858. It is constructed of squared sandstone and has slate roofs. The east front features a symmetrical design with three storeys and seven bays, characterized by projecting quoins, a string course above the first floor, and a cornice. The central three bays on the ground floor project forward and are supported by an attached giant order of Doric columns, which hold up an entablature with a triglyph frieze and a dentilled moulded pediment. The windows are sashed, with glazing bars on the first floor and on the three right-hand bays of the second floor; the others are sashed without glazing bars. All windows have architraves, with the three central first-floor windows featuring pulvinated friezes and pediments, the central one being segmental. The central doorway is flanked by Tuscan pilasters and has a semi-circular head topped with a pediment on console brackets. There are two chimneys on the ridge.

To the right of the main house is a two-storey, three-bay wing that matches the main style. Attached at right angles to its front wall is a single-storey billiard room built in 1876. The south front includes two bays of the three-storey east block on the right side, with the second floor above a cornice. Towards the center of this facade is a recessed two-storey section of three bays, featuring a central doorway with an architrave and a pediment on console brackets, set within an open Adamesque porch adorned with corner urns. To the left are three bays of the taller two-storey wing from 1858, which exhibits more Italianate details on the west side. The interior appears to have been remodeled in the 19th century, with the north room at the front of the east block showcasing pedimented oak doorcases. The door in the east front now leads under a stair with stick balusters and a ramped handrail. The first-floor rooms were not accessible at the time of the survey.
