Nutgrove Hall

Nutgrove Hall is a house dating from 1810. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings, and has a hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys high and five bays wide. It features a stone base, a sill band to the first floor, a top cornice, and a blocking course. The windows have wedge lintels and are sash windows with glazing bars. The central first-floor window is distinguished by an architrave. The central entrance has an elliptical-shaped head, a half-glazed doorcase, and paired two-panel doors. A porch with paired Tuscan columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course fronts the entrance; raised brick flowerbeds surround the porch. There are two brick stacks in line with the roof ridge. A low 20th-century extension exists to the right, with a larger 20th-century extension to the rear of the left return. The botanist Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859), known for his pioneering work in the U.S.A., resided here from 1842 until his death.
