Description

The Old Hall is a country house dating from the mid-17th century and around 1812. It is constructed of brick and stucco, featuring hipped and gabled roofs made of slate and plain tiles. The building has a chamfered rendered plinth and includes two side wall stacks and a single gable stack. It is two to three storeys high with two bays on one side and three on the other, forming an L-plan layout.

The front of the house has windows that are glazing bar sashes, with the second-floor windows having segmental heads. The east front features a service wing on the left, which has two bays with a door flanked by single sash windows. Above this, there are two additional sashes. The main entrance has a central Classical doorcase with a cornice, hood, and geometrical overlight, leading to a panelled door flanked by single sashes, with three more sashes above. Above these, there are three smaller sashes.

On the rear elevation, there is an off-centre rear wing. To the left, there is a canted slated 19th-century bay window with three casements. The rear wing contains three 20th-century casements. The service wing to the right has two casements, with a sash flanked by two casements above, the right ones having metal frames. The rear wing also features a Yorkshire sash to the left above. Notably, this building incorporates part of the remains of the house of Dr. Robert Thoroton, a historian of Nottinghamshire.
