The Brewhouse And East Pavilion At Heath Hall

The Brewhouse and East Pavilion at Heath Hall is a Grade I listed building originally constructed around 1753 by John Carr for John Smyth. It served as the brewhouse and laundry for Heath Hall and has since been converted into two dwellings following restoration work between 1982 and 1984 by Dickinson England of Wakefield. The building is made of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof.

Architecturally, it is designed in a classical H-shaped layout with two storeys and symmetrical facades measuring seven by five bays. The corners are accentuated with quoins, and there are continuous plinth and sill bands. The north-west facade, which faces Heath Hall, has a central three-bay section that projects forward and includes a tall semicircular-arched entrance. This entrance leads through a massive parabolic-arched vault to the rear and is flanked by windows featuring 12-pane sashes with 6-pane sashes above. The outer bays have sash windows with plaques above them. At the top, there is a pedimented gable adorned with dentils and a clock tower, which has engaged Tuscan columns at the corners and a circular recess for the clock, topped by a circular open rotunda with Tuscan columns and a bell-shaped cap surmounted by a ball finial.

The outer projecting bays each contain a recessed archway with a sash window on each floor. The dentil cornice was completely restored around 1984. The hipped roof features two ridge stacks that were replicated in 1984 based on the original stacks from the West pavilion. The rear of the building has similar windows but includes semicircular-arched niches on the ground floor, with voussoirs aligned to the stone courses. The right-hand return faces the Common and has a central three-bay section that also projects forward under a pedimented gable, with niches and plaques above the recessed archway, which contains sash windows similar to those in the outer bays.

The interiors have been largely remodeled, including a new roof structure.
