Humphreston Hall

Humphreston Hall is a manor house dating from the 15th century, with remodels in the 16th and 17th centuries, along with later additions and alterations. The building features half-timbering with painted brick infilling and cladding, as well as painted sandstone blocks at the gable end of the west range, topped with plain tiled roofs. The overall shape of the house is roughly T-shaped, typical of a hall and cross-wing design.

The structure has two storeys with attics. The hall is likely composed of four structural bays, with two to the west of a break in the eaves that was rebuilt in the 17th century, showcasing characteristic V struts to the collar at the gable end. The north and south sides are clad in painted brick in a random bond pattern. The first floor features two two-light and one three-light wooden mullioned windows, while the ground floor has a five-light wooden mullioned and transomed window on the left and a three-light mullioned window on the right. A ridge stack with rebuilt shafts is located at the gable end, and there is a 19th or 20th-century extension with a catslide roof to the north.

The cross-wing is also likely composed of four bays, extending slightly to the north and primarily to the south of the hall. It has a jetty at the first floor and attic on the south gable end, which is partly underbuilt and largely obscured by a later 18th-century gabled painted brick addition featuring an external stack. The east side has close studding and 20th-century casements, while the west side is clad in brick, mostly hidden by a large external sandstone stack with three brick shafts, one of which has been rebuilt. An entrance is located to the left at the angle with the hall, accessed through a 20th-century doorway, with close studding above.

To the east of the cross-wing is a long range, likely dating from the 16th or 17th century, with partial close studding on the first floor on the north side and brick cladding in stretcher bond on the south and east. This section features an 18th-century stepped gable and a brick end stack, along with 20th-century casements and gabled eaves dormers on both the north and south slopes.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain several oak panelled rooms on both floors. Historically, the house was surrounded by a moat, which has since been landscaped and now only survives on the south side.
