Quaintree Hall

Quaintree Hall is a large house that dates back to either the late 16th century or early 17th century, with significant alterations and extensions likely made in the 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed ironstone rubble with sandstone dressings and features a stone-tiled roof. It has two storeys with attics and is arranged in an L shape.

The main range of the house has a coped gable facing the street and consists of three bays. Each bay has three-light stone ovolo moulded mullioned windows with hoodmoulds on both floors, which are placed randomly, and there are two catslide dormers above. A large stone stack projects from the inner face, and the gable wall includes various late 18th-century windows, including a large French window on the ground floor and sash windows above, all featuring stressed stone architraves and keystones.

The north wing has two bays and includes a triple-light sash window in a stressed architrave on the outer side of the ground floor, along with a high blocked mullioned window on the inner side. Above this, there is a late Victorian three-light window and a sash window with margin lights set in an 18th-century surround. The gable end has a stack, and both this and the other stack terminate in octagonal shafts that may date from the 19th century.

At the rear, there is a wing that contains remnants of an earlier timber hall, featuring a crown post roof, which is an unusual construction on base crucks, likely from the late 13th century.

A stretch of rubble wall with ashlar coping connects the house to a 17th-century outbuilding. This outbuilding is gable-on to the street and is built from banded coursed rubble with a stone-tiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with two three-light stone mullioned windows in the gable wall and paired lancets in the apex beneath a cable-moulded round arch, which are presumably not original to the structure.
