Queniborough Hall

Queniborough Hall is a large house, largely dating to the early 19th century, though it may incorporate an earlier structure with 19th and early 20th-century additions. The exterior is stuccoed or rough-cast over brickwork, with a Swithland slate roof. The garden front displays an older four-bay section, with the outer two bays projecting slightly. The left bay features a canted bay window to the ground floor with floor-level lights, topped by low sixteen-pane sash window and a blank recessed panel decorated with incised Key motifs. The right bay includes a taller canted bay window and a deeper sash window above; each of these bays is defined by full-height pilasters. The two central bays have fifteen-pane sashes to the ground floor and nine-pane sashes above. All windows are framed by moulded lugged architraves. A deep, plain entablature or parapet runs along the top. A lower bay, believed to be earlier, is situated to the left. A section on the right side was built around 1900. This two-story, three-bay section has a parapet with ball finials on the left, which includes a ground-floor loggia with two Tuscan columns concealing a recessed doorway and mullioned window. Above the loggia sits a four-light stone-mullioned window. The central portion is a full-height canted bay window with an embattled parapet and five-light mullions. The right bay contains four-light stone-mullioned windows on each floor. The entrance front is predominantly late Victorian. Two bays to the left of the doorway have half-timbered gables. The front door is set within a full-height, half-timbered and jettied gabled porch, incorporating double doors to the ground floor and a long, low wood-mullioned window above. An arched window is located on the hall side at each floor level, followed by a hipped gabled projection and a later wing with a twelve-timbered gable and a pent roof extension on the ground floor. Various casement and sash windows are present, along with decorative brick sill courses. The Swithland slate roofs have a pitch too low to be seen from the garden front.
