Description
Grinshill Hall is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with remodelling carried out in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick with yellow and grey Grinshill sandstone ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. The building has two storeys and an attic, with raised chamfered quoins, a chamfered plinth, a chamfered plat band, and a moulded stone eaves cornice.
The façade consists of three bays, with plate-glass sashes on the first floor that have stone cills and chamfered stone lintels topped with raised triple keystones. The ground floor includes two canted stone bays with plate-glass sashes, chamfered rustication, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course. Access to the house is via four stone steps leading to a central 19th-century four-panelled door, which has a large rectangular overlight and moulded reveals. This door is sheltered by a 19th-century ashlar Tuscan porch, featuring columns and pilasters without entasis, a frieze, a moulded cornice, and a blocking course.
To the left, there is a two-storey service wing that is set back and has quoins, a chamfered plinth, a plat band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a brick ridge stack. This wing has one bay on the left and three bays on the right, with plate-glass sashes that have keyed chamfered lintels. A recessed porch on the right features a depressed rusticated stone arch and a 19th-century half-glazed door. The left-hand gable end shows evidence of the 18th-century eaves line in the brickwork. At the rear, there is a 19th-century gabled wing and other additions.
Inside, the house features an 18th-century staircase with three flights and landings that rise to the attic. The staircase has an open string, cut brackets, turned balusters (two per tread), turned newel posts, a moulded ramped handrail, and a curtail with a turned newel post, along with 19th-century matchboarded wainscot. There is a curved attic landing and a beaded flat-archway to the rear corridor adjacent to the staircase on the ground floor, supported by paired inverted volutes with husk festoons between. Other interior decorations and fittings are largely from the 19th century, including moulded cornices.
