Description
North Carlton Hall is a small country house dating from the late 16th century, with extensive alterations made in the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain tiled roof with raised moulded stone coped gables that have kneelers, as well as knopped pinnacles at the eaves and gables. The building has five stone wall stacks and is designed in an L-shape, with a projecting two-storey porch on its two-storey, eight-bay front, where the end pairs of bays are gabled.
The house has a plinth and a moulded string course at the heads of the ground floor windows, along with ashlar quoins. The off-centre two-storey porch features a shallow four-centred arched opening with sunken spandrels, surrounded by a moulded square frame that has ogee-shaped stops. Above this opening is a three-light ovolo moulded mullioned window with a cornice. To the left of the porch are two four-light windows, while to the right are four four-light windows. On the first floor, to the left of the porch are four three-light windows, and to the right are one two-light window and four additional four-light windows. All upper and lower windows have transoms, and there are single three-light windows with cornices in the gables at each end. All windows feature moulded surrounds and ovolo moulded mullions.
Inside, the main hall showcases a late 16th-century ashlar four-centred moulded surround with shaped stops. The hall also contains two doors with moulded stone surrounds. The staircase is a 19th-century dogleg design. On the first floor, there is a partially panelled oak room that includes three fireplaces with stone surrounds, four-centred arched lintels, and stops; many of these features appear to have been relocated during the 19th-century alterations.
