Allexton Hall

Allexton Hall is a country house dating from the late 16th century to the 17th century, with significant additions made in 1904 by architect William J. Shearburn for George Pauling. The building features fine coursed squared stone with quoins and a Collyweston slate roof, which is partly parapetted and includes various moulded stone valley and end stacks. The house is designed in a Jacobean style and has two and a half storeys.

The entrance front is characterized by projecting gables at either end. The right gable is part of the original range and has three 12/12 sash windows on the first floor, although the rightmost window has a 2-light casement instead of a lower sash. The ground floor features three 3-light stone mullion and transom windows, along with a central two-leaved door topped by a 4-centred arch and a 3-light stone mullion overlight. The left end of the entrance front includes a 3-light stone mullion and transom window on both floors, as well as a 3-light stone mullion attic window, with the upper two windows adorned with hood moulds. The inner return has a 3-light mullion and transom window with a hood mould.

At the center of the entrance front is a gable with finials and a large projecting porch supported by diagonal buttresses, flanked by 3-light windows on either side. The porch features a two-leaved door with a 4-centred arch. To the right is a gabled and canted side porch with a six-panelled door, while to the left is another 3-light stone mullion and transom window. The first floor has a similar 3-light window on either side of a 4-light window with a French door, topped by a gable with finials.

The left gable on the entrance front has a ground floor 1-light window on either side of a projecting stack. The garden front on the left side has a section that is set back, featuring three two-storey 6-light canted stone bays, additional windows, and a part-glazed door. A stone wall extends from the right corner of the entrance front, linking the house to two single-storey outbuildings from around 1904, which are located on either side and in front of the right side of the original range. Between these outbuildings is a stone wall with a central higher 4-centred archway. The original range's roof contains original tie-beam trusses and purlins. The architect and date of the additions are documented in building accounts kept at the house.
