Bay Hall

Former house, now a store, dating from around 1700, with a later 18th-century addition and alterations. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a flat roof concealed behind a parapet, covered in pantiles. It is a three-story, five-by-five bay structure with a plinth and ashlar coping, as well as bands marking the first and second floors and the parapet. The front has a central six-panel door with a Gothick fanlight within a rectangular surround. A later pedimented doorcase was once present but has been removed. Pairs of flush cross-mullioned oak casements flank the door. The first floor features five similar windows, while the second floor has five smaller two-light openings, some of which are blocked. All window and door openings have splayed, flat rubbed brick arches. The right-hand five-bay side has two fenestrated bays with an additional one on the ground floor, with the remaining bays being blank. The left-hand side is of three bays. The rear elevation features three bays, with a single stone mullioned two-light basement window, above which is a tall, dropped cross-mullioned stairwell light flanked by single cross-mullioned windows. Three two-light windows are located on the second floor, some of which are partly blocked. To the left of the main front is a lower, two-bay, two-story late 18th-century service range with a pantile roof and stone-coped gable. It features a half-glazed door with overlight, a 20th-century casement window to the left, a plain sash window, and a further 20th-century casement window on the first floor. All openings have segmental brick heads. The interior includes a dogleg staircase with turned balusters, dado panelling, and a set of late 18th-century stair arches. Deep moulded cornices are present in the principal rooms, alongside some dado panelling, shutters, contemporary doors, cupboards, and eared fireplace surrounds. The building originally possessed a town house form, situated within open countryside.
