Description

Alton Hall is a house dating from the late 16th century and 17th century, with additions made in the 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar and coursed rubble gritstone and brick, featuring quoins and coped gables, with moulded kneelers on the south range. The building has intermediate and end ashlar ridge stacks and a plain tiled roof. It is designed in an 'L' shape, with the north range appearing to be older than the south.

The windows are hollow chamfer mullioned, arranged in 2, 3, and 4-light configurations, and are irregularly spaced on the inner faces of the 'L' shaped range. There are also three 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. The doorways on the north wing's south elevation and the south wing's east elevation feature chamfered four-centred arched heads and quoined surrounds, both fitted with 20th-century planked doors.

On the south gable of the south range, there is an 18th-century canted two-storey brick bay with glazing bar sashes, rusticated lintels, and a moulded eaves cornice above. The west side wall of the south range has a shallow pitched roof projection with a doorway inserted at ground floor level, which may have been a former garderobe. There are also other blocked openings on this elevation.
