Description
Lupset Hall, now serving as the Lupset Park Golf Club House, was built for Richard Witton and is dated 1716 on the keystone of its doorway. This two-storey building features seven windows arranged in a 2:3:2 pattern and is constructed of small, bright red brick in Flemish bond. The ashlar dressings include a plinth, quoins, a first-floor band, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course. The hipped roof is now covered with slate.
The central section of the façade is set back, featuring a stone centre bay with a carved escutcheon above the first-floor window and a small, pedimented raised attic with a round window above. The sash windows, some of which have been replaced, have stone architraves and cills. A six-panel double door with a tall fanlight is set within an architrave. There is a shallow prostyle Ionic porch, which appears to be of early 20th-century design, although the columns may be original. This porch has an open pediment with a monogram in a medallion. The rear elevation is similar to the front, except for the absence of the porch. The right return is plain and consists of five bays, while the left return is concealed by modern additions.
Inside, the hall features a cantilevered staircase in a square well, which has a cut string, a curved and ramped handrail, a twist column bottom newel, and attractive fluted and turned balusters with gadrooned collars above the fluting. There is an arcaded landing screen, and the door and window woodwork are intact. However, the plasterwork and one chimneypiece suggest alterations from the early to mid-19th century. The hall also contains original panelling and a bolection moulded chimney-piece.
