Pollington Hall

Pollington Hall is a farmhouse built in the mid-18th century. It features brown brick in English bond, with ashlar steps and an entrance porch, and is topped with a Yorkshire slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan with a central entrance hall on the south front and a staircase at the rear. It stands three storeys high and has five symmetrical bays, with a tall plinth.

A flight of five steps, flanked by ashlar walls that ramp up from curved ends, leads to the entrance. The door, dating from the 20th century, is a six-fielded-panel design set in a 20th-century architrave beneath an original Gothick overlight, all framed by a beaded ashlar surround with scrolled consoles supporting a moulded pediment. To the left are 20th-century 12-pane sash windows, while to the right are four-pane sashes, all within original wooden architraves and reveals, featuring stucco sills and painted rubbed-brick flat arches. The first floor has similar four-pane sashes, and the second floor features 20th-century pivoted casements in matching original surrounds. The building is topped with a stepped and dentilled brick eaves cornice, stone-coped gables with shaped kneelers, and end stacks.

Inside, original features include a moulded plaster cornice in the entrance hall, a pilastered round-arched opening leading to the stair hall, and a two-flight return staircase with a ramped corniced handrail, fluted column newel, and column-on-vase balusters with square knops. There is a round-headed stair window with a pilastered surround, a dentilled plaster cornice in the ground floor right room, and a dining room on the ground floor left that boasts a modillioned plaster cornice, a moulded dado rail, and an impressive ashlar chimney-piece with pilasters, a raised tablet in the frieze, and scrolled consoles supporting a corniced mantelshelf. This room is flanked by a pair of cupboards with six-fielded-panel doors in architraves. The property also includes vaulted cellars, although the interior has not been fully investigated.
