Description
Mytton Hall is a small country house, originally built in the early 19th century and extended in 1933. It is constructed of rendered brick, which is designed to look like ashlar, with painted brick used on the left-hand side and the rear. The building is square in shape, with a later wing added to the north-east. It has two and three storeys.
The south front features a plinth, a band across the first floor, a moulded cornice and a raised parapet to the central bay, topped with decorative features called Soanian caps. Rendered brick ridge stacks are present, with one to the left and two to the right, and a painted brick stack on the rear. The front has three bays with 15-pane glazing bar sashes on the ground floor, rectangular panels above the ground-floor windows, and a blind box above the central first-floor window. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with the top two panels glazed, flanked by side lights with raised and fielded panels, separated by pilaster strips with shallow consoles supporting a frieze and cornice. There is a panelled surround to the door, with a similar frieze and cornice above. An Ionic porch of grey sandstone ashlar, with paired unfluted columns, antae behind, a full entablature, and a blocking course, projects from the centre.
The left-hand return front has four bays and three storeys with slightly curved glazing bar sashes and painted stone cills, some with slightly segmental heads. The ground floor features flat 12-pane sashes in the end bays, and a shallow bow window with a tripartite sash, pilaster strips, and a frieze. A six-panelled door, the lower half boarded and the upper half glazed, is found in the second bay from the right, with a radial fanlight above, and a doorcase consisting of unfluted quarter columns and an open triangular pediment. A Union fire insurance plate is located between the first and second first-floor windows on the right-hand side.
The right-hand return front has four bays with glazing bar sashes, and panels above the ground-floor windows. A wing dating to approximately 1933, built in an early 19th-century style, projects from the angle at the rear and has three bays with glazing bar sashes. A semi-circular, two-storey porch extends from the angle on the left, corbelled out above a pair of half-glazed doors. The interior of the house has not been inspected. The current occupant previously believed part of the building dated to 1860, but this is not thought to relate to the principal building periods.
