Description
Hulme Hall is a women's dining hall, now serving as a community centre, built in 1901 by William and Segar Owen. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features timber-framed gables, topped with slate roofs that have tile ridges. It is a single-storey structure with six bays. The central two bays project under a gable, as do the two bays at each end, which include re-entrant porches. The exterior is adorned with stone-faced raking buttresses, some quoins, and ball finials.
The windows are double-chamfered with mullions and transoms. The central two bays feature three-light windows beneath the gable, while the bay to the left has a five-light half-canted bay window with a cornice, and the bay to the right has a six-light half-centred bay window, which is topped with a gable that abuts the porch gable. The end bays have canted bay windows, with the left one having five lights and two transoms, and the right one featuring four-light rectangular windows with label moulds. All windows are fitted with decorative leaded glazing.
The left porch includes a three-light window and a return entrance that has demi-columns, a cornice, and three elliptical-headed overlights, with doors that have strap hinges. The right porch is similar, also featuring a gable on the return. The returns have raking buttresses and three-light windows; the right return has an extension towards the rear, while the left return had one that has since been removed. The rear of the building has end gabled bays with elliptical-headed windows and two lateral stacks.
Inside, there are three large rooms and a through passage to the left of the central room. The central roof has a segmental vault, with ribs that extend down as piers, and gabled ends featuring leaded glazing above decorative friezes. The other rooms have similar elliptical vaults with flat margins, although the left room has been partitioned. The through passage also displays decorative friezes.
