Description

Preston Hall is a house located on Preston Main Street, dating from the 19th century but with traces of 17th-century work. The building is constructed from rubble stone, with coursed ashlar quoins and dressings. It features stone slate roofs with parapet gables and kneelers, along with various paned and triple square stone stacks that have corniced heads. The central gabled eaves dormers are adorned with a parapetted gable, kneelers, or a finial, and there is a single light in the gable.

The house is two storeys with an attic and has a three-window front. Large three-light windows with chamfered surrounds and mullions are positioned under hood-moulds. The ground floor features square-headed three-light windows and a 'Gothick'-style porch, which has octagonal corner buttresses and tracery panelling above a deep moulded pointed-arched surround with paired studded doors. To the right, there is a two-storey and attic addition in the same style, with continuous moulding between the windows.

At the rear, there is a 17th-century block that includes paired semi-dormer gables on the east and west sides, with a doorway on the east side of the small 17th-century block. Inside, remnants of spine beams can be found on the ground floor of the 17th-century block.
