Description
Brunsell Hall is a manor house, largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century with 20th-century additions, situated on Screveton Road, Car Colston. The original house dates to 1662 and was substantially demolished in 1769. The building is constructed of brick with a gabled and hipped roof covered in 20th-century plain tiles. The eaves feature cogged and dentillated detail, and there are brick quoins, two gable stacks, and an external side wall stack. The layout follows an L-shape.
The west front incorporates a 20th-century brick garage. A framed 17th-century door, flanked by single 20th-century leaded casements, is positioned to the right of the garage. Above the door are three mullioned, leaded casements. The south-west gable is rendered and features a 20th-century lean-to addition with a casement window. Above this are two small casement windows to the garret. A brick lean-to addition with a casement is found on the return angle, alongside three different 20th-century casements. Above, to the right, is a blocked doorway containing a 20th-century casement. A modern brick courtyard wall with two re-set ball finials adjoins the property. The south front shows a 20th-century addition with a French window to the left, and a blocked doorway and three mullioned, leaded casements to the right. Above, a square casement sits to the left, and three mullioned, leaded casements to the right.
The east front has an off-centre blocked opening, with two leaded casements to the left and three to the right. Above, is an off-centre blocked opening and four different leaded casements. The north gable features an adjoining 19th-century garage, constructed of brick with a pantile roof, single storey and two bays. A small casement window is visible to the garret above.
The interior includes a largely restored 17th-century panelled room with arcading, a moulded cornice, a pulvinated frieze, a pedimented doorway, and a pilastered fireplace with an overmantel depicting fruit swags and a central cherub mask. A closet to the right of the fireplace contains a 17th-century fitted desk and cupboards, alongside a compartmented panelled ceiling. There are nine framed, 18th-century panelled doors, retaining some original fittings. A main winder stair features a square newel and a fragment of a stud partition. A softwood winder stair leads to the attic. The restored 17th-century roof structure contains double butt purlins, arched collars, and wind braces. The structure is partly plastered, with a small portion of stud partition remaining. Other features include a 19th-century Adam style curved back fireplace.
