Description
Totterton Hall is a country house built around 1814, possibly constructed or modified by John Carline of Shrewsbury for the Reverend J. Bright. The building is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof that is hipped to the left. It showcases a simple Classical style and stands two storeys tall. The exterior includes an ashlar plinth, first-floor cill bands, and a moulded brick eaves cornice with dentils. A central triangular pedimented gable protrudes through the eaves, adorned with a moulded brick verge and five ridge stacks. The façade is arranged in a 2:1:2 bay pattern, with the central bay being wider. It features a giant order of pilaster strips with recessed stone capitals and 19th-century metal cross windows, which likely replaced original glazing bar sashes, all with gauged heads and stone cills.
There are two steps leading up to two central half-glazed doors framed by a stone architrave. The ashlar porch is supported by coupled Roman Doric columns and pilasters, which hold up a half architrave, frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The south front consists of three bays, with the center bay showcasing a ground-floor tripartite glazing bar sash and an open triangular pedimented gable above, also with a moulded brick verge.
To the north, there is a picture gallery set back, which is a single storey. It has a plinth, a moulded brick cornice with dentils, a stone-coped parapet, and a parapeted gable end to the right. This section is divided into three bays by pilaster strips, with a cornice that breaks forward above. The blind windows here have gauged heads and stone cills.
Inside, the hall features moulded cornices, soffits with paterae at the corners, ceiling roses, and panelled doors with reeded architraves. The ballroom has graded floorboards, and there is a dog-leg staircase with winders and a half landing, featuring a wrought iron balustrade with a moulded wooden rail and an arcaded screen at the landing.
