Shelton Hall And Adjoining Dwellings The Stables 1 And 2 And The Ostlers

Shelton Hall is a late 18th-century country house with associated stables and outbuildings, later converted into flats and dwellings. The main house is substantially extended in the mid- and late-19th century. Constructed primarily of brick, parts are stuccoed, with hipped and gabled slate and concrete tile roofs. A stone plinth and deep eaves are present, complemented by eight single ridge stacks. The house is arranged over two and three storeys, with a five-bay front and eight bays running to the rear. The windows are largely glazing bar sashes, with some casements featuring segmental heads. The front facade is flanked by coped walls topped with ball finials. A central 20th-century glazed entrance door, adorned with a patterned lintel, is flanked by three sashes, with a further door and five sashes above. A further level above incorporates five smaller sashes. The north-east side features a canted hipped outbuilding, a French window, and a service building with a casement and door with an overlight. The south-west side has a double-depth rear wing from the mid-19th century, with segmental-headed openings. This wing includes a French window, two Yorkshire sashes, a sash above, and two sashes, the rightmost being double. A mid-19th century loggia further extends the south-west side, featuring four Doric piers supporting a wooden lintel and brick parapet decorated with ball finials, and internally it contains four plaster panels depicting figures. A rear elevation includes a projecting dressing room on a brick pier, a housekeeper's room with a sash and door, and various sash windows.

The Stables and adjoining outbuildings are of single storey elevation. The south-west facing elevation features a sash window, two sashes flanked by single doors, two small sashes, a doorway with a wooden lintel, three sashes flanked by single doors, a casement, and a door. The Ostlers incorporates a single-storey projecting hipped bay with a casement, a door, a casement, a two-storey carriage house with two large carriage openings and elliptical heads, a C20 door and casement, and a central clock opening flanked by single casements above. Replacement windows are of matching late 20th-century design.

The interior features a moulded stone cantilevered dogleg staircase with an arched iron balustrade, a ramped scrolled handrail, and elaborate modillioned cornices in the principal rooms. The drawing room contains an alcove with an overmantel mirror flanked by round-headed niches and a large early 19th-century register grate in a Gothick style, complete with a moulded marble surround and relief panel.
