Description
Summerley Hall is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble coal measures sandstone, with ashlar dressings, quoins, coped gables concealed behind a shallow 18th-century parapet, and ridge and gable stone stacks, some of which have been partially rebuilt in brick and rendered. The roof is covered in concrete tiles, formerly stone slates. The house follows a double pile plan, with wings extending at right angles from the main body.
The south elevation has two bays. The central doorway has a chamfered quoined surround and a massive lintel, now with a 20th-century glazed door. Flanking the doorway are five-light recessed chamfer mullioned and transomed windows with fixed lights and glazing bars. The first floor has four-light windows of a similar design, some with leaded lights. All windows have 20th-century lead-covered timber drips above the heads. The lower rear range incorporates 20th-century stone mullions to part of the side elevations, although evidence of original 17th-century chamfer mullions remain, also with plain drips. A projecting wing in the centre of the rear range contains a semi-circular stair tower with a shallow pitched roof.
Attached garden walls enclose the front garden. The walls incorporate stone gatepiers, square in plan, with projecting moulded caps. The lower sections of the walls have 20th-century iron railings, and a 20th-century timber gate provides access.
