Steeton Hall The Low Hall

Steeton Hall, also known as the Low Hall, is a large house that has been converted into a hotel. It was built in the mid-19th century but includes earlier 17th-century details, with alterations and extensions made in 1904. The exterior features rendered and pebble-dashed walls with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high with a three-bay symmetrical facade. It has rusticated quoins, a plinth, a band, and a modillioned eaves cornice. The central bay projects forward and has quoined angles, a Doric tetrastyle portico with a decorative cast-iron grille set in the parapet above, and 2-light sash windows with segmental-arched lintels on the first floor topped by a triangular pediment. The outer bays contain single-light sash windows with projecting sills supported by consoles, and segmental-arched sashes above. The hipped roof is adorned with three stacks. At the rear, there are three bays of arched windows on the first floor and a decorative carved heraldic shield that is initialled and dated "1662." To the right, there is a wing that projects forward with a re-used 17th-century window beneath a decorative hoodmould. The doorway features Doric pilasters and a segmental pediment, with the tympanum dated 1904. The right-hand return has three symmetrical bays of sash windows, similar to the front, and a projecting angled window on the ground floor.

Inside, the main reception rooms boast impressive doorcases, one featuring a swan-neck pediment and shouldered architrave, while others have pulvinated friezes and cornices. The panelled doors are fitted with elaborate brass hardware. The plaster ceilings include one with Jacobean-style panelling and moulded ribs.
