Description
Quorn Hall is a country house built around 1680, with a third storey added in the late 18th century, and significant alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of red brick and features a pediment and a slate roof with brick stacks. It has three storeys with five sash windows, primarily in 6/6 and 1/1 configurations. There is a 19th-century canted bay window and an entrance porch on the left side.
Inside, the main staircase, dating from around 1680, is notable for its well-planned design, featuring heavy strings, a handrail, and barley sugar twist balusters. The ceilings above have decorative wire work wreaths of leaves in the center and a swagged cornice, similar to that found at Newbold Verdon Hall in Leicester. A room at the top of the back stairs, which is also partly from around 1680, includes bolection moulded panelling and a fireplace adorned with Delft tiles, although this fireplace has been boarded up since 1983. The house was built for a branch of the Farnham family.
