Snelston Hall and attached outbuildings and stable block

Snelston Hall and attached outbuildings and stable block is a mid-19th century courtyard of stables, built by the Harrison family of Snelston Hall. The stables were converted into a house around 1950 and enlarged around 1975. The house is constructed of sandstone, while the attached outbuildings are of red brick, both with stone dressings. The house has a hipped tile roof with brick ridge stacks, and one stone side wall stack to the south; the outbuildings and stable block have diamond-set brick stacks and stone coped gables with moulded kneelers.

The house has a plinth, a plain first-floor band, and a coved eaves cornice. It is seven bays wide and of two storeys. The attached buildings are single storey. Much of the west side of the former courtyard has been demolished. The house is situated to the east, the stable block to the south, and the outbuildings to the north, with remnants of the western range attached to the north and south, each featuring iron columned arcades on their east sides. The main entrance features three central four-centred arches with square piers, the central one concealing a four-centred arched door flanked by similar four-centred arched windows. Tall two-light recessed and chamfered mullion and transomed windows with small pane metal lights are on either side of the arches. Above these are seven two-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with metal casements. A rear wing was added around 1975 in a matching style.

The interior includes reused features from Cottingham’s Hall, such as carved panelled doors, a cusped wooden staircase, Gothic-style fireplaces, and elaborately carved curtain pelmets. Single-storey wings are attached to either side of the house, linking to the north and south ranges via stone surrounds for metal casements. These ranges have central gabled bays with four-centred brick archways and stone lancets above. The north range has four metal casements in chamfered stone surrounds to the east and two to the west; the south range has three to the east and two to the west. At the west end of each range is a single bay of the former western range, with low brick walls and brick piers surmounted by elaborately decorated urns.
