Description
Little Preston Hall is a large house that has been converted into flats. It likely dates from the early 18th century, with a worn datestone at the rear that is said to be inscribed with the year 1736. The building was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of squared magnesian limestone laid in courses, topped with a slate roof, and features chimneys that have been heightened in brick.
The house has a rectangular double-pile plan, is three storeys high, and has seven bays arranged symmetrically. There are moulded string courses on two levels. In the center, there is an altered doorway beneath an original moulded cornice that has a raised medallion in the middle. The windows are sashed without glazing bars and are set in raised 19th-century surrounds, except for the outer bays on the ground floor, where they have been replaced with 19th-century tripartite rectangular bay windows. The building has large external chimney stacks on both gable walls, a moulded eaves cornice, stone gable copings with kneelers, and an off-center ridge chimney to the left.
At the rear, there is a short single-storey extension or porch that features a moulded doorway, above which is a worn coat of arms in a rectangular panel. Inside, the interior has been altered but still includes a doglegged staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, square newels, and a broad handrail that is ramped at the half landings.
