Ferney Hall Including Stables And Attached Wall And Steps To East

Ferney Hall, including stables and an attached wall and steps to the east, is a country house built in 1856 by John Norton for W H Sitwell. At the time of the survey, the building was derelict. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features slate roofs, ornamental brick ridges, and end and side stacks with decorated flues, some arranged in clusters. The house is designed in the Jacobean style, characterized by stone mullion windows and Dutch gables.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic. The entrance front features a three-storey tower with a doorway adorned with Doric pilasters and a frieze, a two-light window above, a bracketed cornice, and an open belvedere with a parapet and ogee roof, with additional windows on either side. The garden front has a five-window range with projecting end gables and two-storey canted bays, along with a central doorway that has an oriel window above. The side of the house presents an asymmetrical design with a projecting gable, side stacks, and oriels on the first floor.

The stables, which are attached to the entrance front by a covered way, are designed in a similar style and are arranged in a U-shape with a central carriage arch and a clock tower above. The clock tower features an open square lantern and an ogee roof, mirroring the belvedere of the house.

The interior has not been inspected. A brick and stone wall extends from the right corner of the garden front, featuring elaborate niches near the house, followed by steps and a gateway. The wall continues eastward, bounding the drive, and transitions to coursed rubble about halfway along its length.

The park surrounding the house was landscaped by Humphry Repton.
