Lower Hall

Lower Hall is a house dating from 1629, with a porch that has been partly rebuilt on the south front in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of thin coursed rubble with dressed quoins and a stone slate roof. It features a three-room through-passage plan with porches at either end and a parallel range under two separate gables at the rear of the hall and parlour.

The north front is the least altered and has a chamfered light to the left of two modern mullioned windows, with a two-light chamfered mullioned window above on the first floor. The single-storey porch, similar to that of No 34 Stainland Road, has an unusual decorated lintel with the date and an elaborate moulded surround, featuring spandrels carved with a rose. The inner doorway has a plain Tudor arched lintel and a chamfered surround. The wings of the house break forward, with a double chamfered mullioned window of five lights, which was larger in the past (evidence of the hoodmould) to the left of an inserted doorway. On the first floor, there is a ten-light mullioned and transomed window with a hoodmould, along with two chamfered mullioned windows of three lights, with similar ones above on the first floor.

The south front features 19th-century double gables made of hammer-dressed stone and two-light flat-faced mullioned sashed windows, retaining twelve-paned sashes on both floors. Set back to the left of the gables is a two-light double chamfered mullioned window, possibly a former fire-window. The porch, resembling that of Bowers Hall on Saddleworth Road, has a triangular pediment above a segmental arched doorway with an elaborate moulded surround and shields carved in the spandrels. The inner doorway is less elaborate, with a chamfered surround, and there is a two-light window above on the first floor. The south front has three stacks.

Inside, the house preserves a bressumer in the housebody. The rear kitchen features a wide segmental arched fireplace with joggled skewbacks and a domed bee-hive oven. The roof has king-posts with "V" struts.
