Description
Stone Hall is an early 18th-century house constructed from sandstone rubble and topped with a concrete tile roof. The building features a symmetrical design with two storeys and an attic, having one bay on each side of the central section. The facade includes a plinth and a moulded cornice, with the outer bays framed by chamfered quoins that resemble pilasters. These bays also feature a storey band and rebated and chamfered cross windows. At the center, a pediment contains an oval attic window with a keyed stone surround. The entrance is flanked by giant pilasters, and the door is set within a bolection moulded stone surround topped by a swan-necked pediment supported by brackets. On the first floor, there is a blind recess with a stone surround. The chimneys are positioned behind the ridge, to the left and right of the center.
Inside, the ground-floor rooms are characterized by chamfered axial beams, some of which have cyma stops. Double doors with bolection moulded panels separate the hall from the right-hand (east) room. The dog-leg staircase features a closed string, square newels with sunk panels and shouldered round heads, along with a moulded handrail. The staircase now includes stick balusters of 19th-century design.
