Description

Aston Hall is a manor house, largely dating from the 16th century with an earlier core, and has undergone significant restoration. The building is constructed of coursed and uncoursed stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has painted timber framing on a stone rubble plinth. It has plain-tile roofs, with projecting stone rubble stacks to the side and rear, featuring three shafts, along with an integral brick stack to the right-hand wing with four shafts, all with spurred brick and oversailing caps. Two later smaller brick gable-end stacks are also present. The house follows an H-shaped plan.

The front facade features two deeply projecting cross wings with front gables, linked by a three-bay range with a projecting porch and gabled room above. Each bay has a single window on each storey, featuring ashlar mullion windows with ashlar surrounds, generally two-light, with three-light windows to the ground floor of the cross wings and single-light windows to the attic of the cross wings. Many windows have leaded panes. A central, round-arched porch has a boarded and studded door set within an ogee and fillet moulded frame.

The left side of the building has a central large gable, flanked by large gabled stone dormers, with a projecting stack between the centre and right dormers. There is a two-window central gable range of wood mullion and transom windows, a single window in the attic, and a stone mullion window at ground storey. To the left is a two-window range of wood mullion and transom windows, with casements to the right and a two-light dormer casement. A single-light casement sits within an ashlar surround.

The right side has a two-window range of wood mullion and transom windows to the left, and a two-bay timber-framed range of close studding with a girding beam and middle rails. This section features truss posts with straight arched braces, two first-floor casements and four ground-floor casements, all restored.

The rear of Aston Hall displays two projecting gable ends to the wings, with the right wing constructed of stone rubble and the left wing rendered and partly covered by a single-storey gabled brick service wing. The linking range is partly obscured by later brick single- and two-storey extensions.

The interior was not inspected during the survey.

The house sits within a garden with a terrace fronted by flanking walls and pillars. There are opposing pairs of gatepiers adjacent to the front facade, with a brick garden wall that runs approximately 10 metres along the garden to the third pier; the continuation of the wall and linking walls are now missing. The gatepiers are constructed of brick, with an ashlar moulded base, corniced cap, and an ashlar urn atop. One gatepier has an obelisk.
