Description
Masonic Hall, originally a house and outbuildings, is now used as offices. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and is constructed of brick with a hipped Welsh slate roof and two brick ridge stacks.
The building has two storeys and a cellar, featuring an 11-window range. This includes eight 6/6 sash windows and, to the left, two 20th-century leaded mullion lights. The windows are topped with gauged brick segmental arches, and there is a brick modillion eaves. The entrance is located to the centre right and consists of a 6-moulded-panel door with a coloured margin-glazed overlight in round-headed panelled reveals. This is set beneath a moulded and modillioned wood open-pediment hood supported by entablature blocks with triglyphs and attached Tuscan columns. To the right of the entrance are four late 19th-century 6/6 sash windows under gauged brick flat arches, while to the left are two more.
There is a carriageway with plank double doors beneath an elliptical gauged brick arch. To the extreme left, there are central double doors with an overlight under a moulded wood pediment on fluted pilasters, flanked by 20th-century cross-windows with leaded lights under gauged brick segmental arches, and a tablet featuring a square and compasses above. The carriageway also includes a part-glazed 6-panel door in a reeded architrave with paterae.
The right side of the building is roughcast and features a 20th-century shop window, along with a wing that has a 6/6 sash window and a 3/6 sash above a 20th-century entrance. The eaves on this side are also brick modillioned.
At the rear, there are three 6/6 sashes, an 8/8 sash, and a 10/10 sash, all under gauged brick segmental arches. There is a 6-panel door with a margin-glazed overlight in round-headed panelled reveals, also under an open-pediment hood on scrolled brackets, along with 8/8 and 8/4 sashes. A wing at the rear has two cross-windows in moulded cases under gauged brick segmental arches, and a 20th-century door in an earlier case beneath a cambered hood, with a large window under a gauged brick arch to the left.
Inside, the building features a 19th-century open-well staircase with stick balusters and a cluster-newel, along with 6-panel doors that have fluted architraves and a margin-glazed fanlight.
