Description
Blue Hall is a house built in the early 19th century. It features grey brick in Flemish bond, with red brick on the left return, and has a Westmorland slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan with a central entrance hall and two rooms on the south front. It is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays.
The entrance is marked by a Doric doorcase with attached columns that support a moulded cornice. The door is panelled and topped with a radial fanlight set in a round-headed reveal. The windows are 16-pane sashes in recessed architraves, complete with sills and channelled and keyed stucco cambered arches. The eaves board is moulded, and the roof is hipped with corniced side wall stacks.
On the right return, facing the road, there is a narrow plate-glass sash window on the ground floor to the left, an inserted window to the right, and 16-pane segmental-headed sashes on the first floor that match the front. A central stair window at the rear features a 4-pane sash in a flush wooden architrave beneath a dummy round-arched head with painted radial glazing bars.
Inside, the entrance hall has a reeded architrave around the front door, leading to a stair hall with reeded half-columns that support an elliptical arch with a panelled soffit and a moulded dado rail. The open well staircase has a ramped and wreathed handrail, column balusters, and a moulded wall rail. The cornice is moulded, with a ribbed frieze and a ceiling roundel.
The ground floor left room has a moulded plaster cornice and ribbed frieze featuring a lion's head ornament. It also has an impressive chimney-piece with fluted columns, foliate necking, dosserets with draped urns, and a frieze adorned with an urn and festoons, topped with a moulded cornice and shelf. The first floor left room has a composition chimney-piece with fluted columns and figures, while the first floor right room features a chimney-piece with fluted pilasters and a dentilled cornice.
