Blue Hall

Blue Hall is a house dating from around 1700, constructed of orange brick in an irregular bond with a pantiled roof. Originally three storeys high with five bays arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern, it was reduced to two storeys and five bays in the early 19th century. The building has an L-shaped plan and features a balanced main elevation with a 20th-century boarded door flanked by 20th-century five-light casements. There is a first-floor band that projects over the former positions of the original windows, a two-light cross-mullion window above the door, and four-light casements on either side. The house has an axial stack with offsets and bands on the main range, and an external end stack on the rear wing, both topped with hipped roofs.

Inside, there is a closed-string framed newel stair with heavy turned balusters and a moulded handrail, featuring newels with half-balusters, pendants, and finials. The stair rises through three floors to the current low attics. The room to the right of the stair is entirely lined with bolection-moulded panelling, including overdoor panels and a dado, and features a bolection-moulded fireplace and overmantel, along with a contemporary built-in corner cupboard. The room above is similarly panelled and also has a bolection-moulded fireplace with overmantel. Notably, the space between the panelling and the unplastered brickwork behind it appears to have been filled with oats chaff. Most of the principal doors and many cupboard doors are made of two bolection-moulded panels and hang on their original hinges, with several still equipped with box-locks. The upper floors retain most of their original wide floorboards. The house was once moated, and part of the moat still survives as a duck-pond to the west.
