Oxon Hall

Oxon Hall is a small country house, later used as a hospital and now disused. It was built in the 18th century and stands in Boughton, near Holyhead Road. The house is constructed of rendered brick, with the appearance of ashlar, and painted brick to the side. It has a two-span slate roof. The front of the house has three storeys and an attic over a basement, while the rear has two storeys.

On the north-east (entrance) front, detailing includes a plinth, a band at sill level of the first floor, a moulded cornice above the first floor, and an eaves band. There are external brick end stacks, a brick ridge stack off-centre to the left, two brick ridge stacks on the right-hand return, and a brick ridge stack to the rear range. The front is arranged with three bays, a central bay, and three further bays; it features glazing bar sashes, with the central first-floor window framed by a moulded architrave. A pair of full-height canted bays flank the main entrance, each having semi-conical roofs with triple sashes to the ground and first floors, divided by panelled mullions, and tripartite sashes to the second floor, also with panelled mullions. A central three-bay porch has pilasters, a full entablature, and a blocking course, with a pair of narrow eight-pane sashes and a pair of two-panelled doors (lower panels are flush and beaded) with a rectangular overlight.

The south-west (garden) front has wide pilaster strips at the ends, a plinth, a band at sill level of the first floor, and an eaves band. It consists of six bays with glazing bar sashes set in moulded architraves, and a doorway in the second bay from the left. The left-hand return front has a single bay, featuring a blind window on the first floor. A one-and-a-half storey service wing is located to the south-east of the main house and features a plinth, pilaster strips, a first-floor sill band, an eaves band, and brick ridge stacks. The wing has two bays with glazing bar sashes and moulded architraves.

The interior has not been inspected, but photographs held by the NMR (National Monuments Record) indicate the survival of key features. These include an entrance hall with a three-bay Ionic screen featuring unfluted columns and antae supporting a frieze, and a fine two-flight square-well staircase behind. The staircase has a first-floor landing with an open string, slim turned balusters, a wreathed foot newel, and a swept handrail.
