Longhills Hall

Longhills Hall is a country house dating from the mid-18th century, altered in 1836 by George Basevi. The house is constructed of coursed rubble with rendered surfaces and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate hipped roof and stone stacks. It features quoins, a cornice, a parapet, and obelisk finials at the corners.

The north front has five bays, with a central projecting bay topped by a pediment. A portico with four Tuscan Doric columns provides access via double doors flanked by side lights. To either side of the portico are two glazing bar sashes with moulded eared surrounds and a moulded sill band. Above the central sash is another glazing bar sash with a moulded surround and a flat hood on brackets. Further glazing bar sashes are present to either side. A segmental headed window is located within the pediment, and there are two dormers topped with segmental pediments.

The west front features three bays with projecting bays on either side, creating a recessed centre. A Venetian French window sits within the recessed centre, flanked by two Venetian windows, all with moulded surrounds. Above are three glazing bar sashes with moulded surrounds, the central one featuring a pediment. Dormers with pediments are present in the projecting bays.

The south front has seven bays and glazing bar sashes with moulded surrounds; those on the ground floor are eared, and those above have flat hoods. To the west is a three-window bow with a coped parapet. Above are two pedimented dormers.

The interior features three good mid-18th century fireplaces and a fine early 19th century stone staircase with iron railings.
