Description
Ollerton Hall is a country house built around 1700, constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and topped with a hipped plain tile roof. The building features a moulded ashlar plinth, stone and brick bands at the first floor, dentillated timber eaves, and has a ridge with four gable stacks. It is two storeys high with garrets and has an H-plan layout, comprising 11 bays arranged in a 2/7/2 configuration.
The windows are glazing bar sashes with moulded panelled architraves and sills, and similar windows can be found in the wings and at the rear, featuring rubbed brick heads. The north front has a central three-bay section that steps forward, flanked by single giant pilasters. The central classical doorcase is adorned with a panelled eared architrave and reeded curved brackets supporting a segmental pediment. To the left of the doorcase are three sashes, and to the right are two sashes and a blocked opening. Above this, there are six sashes and another blocked opening, with a flat-roofed dormer above.
The east wing features a 19th-century doorway and a casement to the north, with a single sash and a blocked opening above. The west wing has a sash to the left, with another sash and a blocked opening above. The east return angle includes two small casements to the left and a moulded ashlar doorway to the right, while the west return angle has two blocked openings above.
On the east front, there is a blocked opening to the left and six boarded sashes to the right, with a similar arrangement above. There are also two flat-roofed dormers with sashes above. The west front features four boarded sashes to the left, a door with an overlight and two sashes to the right, with a blocked opening to the left above and six sashes above that. Additionally, there are three leaded gabled dormers with sashes above.
The south front displays symmetrical projecting bays with eaves bands and coped gables. There is an off-centre doorway with a panelled architrave, flanked to the left by five sashes and to the right by a blocked opening and a sash. Above, there are five sashes to the left and two blocked openings to the right, followed by a 19th-century sash on a different level and another sash beyond that. Inside, the hall features a fine early 18th-century framed stair with vase and stem balusters, although it is in poor condition, arranged around a square flagged well.
