Description
Arksey Hall, now two separate dwellings, was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century, though incorporating an earlier core. It has a cement-rendered facade and a 20th-century tile roof. The house is two storeys and five bays wide by five bays deep, with a double-pile plan and a single-storey addition to a return. A stone porch with Tuscan columns provides access to a part-glazed door with a margin-glazed overlight, centrally located to the left. The window sills are projecting stone in bays one and five, which contain 16-pane sashes in flush wooden architraves. Bays two and four feature later casements. A stained glass sash is above the porch, and a round-headed stair-window with glazing bars is on the left side of the front. Bay four has a casement window, while bays one and five mirror the ground-floor design. The hipped roof has overhanging eaves and a corniced stack at the eaves on the left, in addition to two ridge stacks. The addition on the right return is set back and has a graduated slate roof. The left return features a central door with a canopy, alongside plain sashes. The right return displays a six-panel door with a round-arched fanlight above it and a three-light, horizontally sliding sash on the left. The first floor has an unequally-hung, 20-pane sash and a sash with glazing bars.
Inside, there is an early 19th-century staircase and panelled door architraves. A fine set of glazed, mahogany-veneered cupboards is located in a room to the rear. A front room to the right of the entrance has an altered 17th-century fireplace with a lintel carved with Tudor roses and the motto 'Ne Vite Velis.' Above the fireplace is a wooden overmantel with eight lozenge-carved panels, bearing the date '1653 / IAC' in a triangular-panelled head carved with griffins.
