Description

Aston Hall is a house built around 1720, with the top floor likely added and the entire structure re-faced in the early 19th century, along with further alterations in the late 19th century. The exterior is pebbledashed with stuccoed and painted stone dressings, topped by a two-span slate roof.

The building has three storeys and features a plinth, raised quoins, a moulded wooden eaves cornice, a blocking course, and four ridge stacks. It has seven bays with glazing bar sash windows that have moulded architraves, extending to floor level on the ground floor. The large central door has eight raised and fielded panels and is set within a porch supported by Tuscan columns and pilasters, which hold up a half-architrave, frieze, cornice, and blocking course. To the left, there is a one-storey addition with a large glazing bar sash window to the right and 20th-century casements to the left.

The east front has three bays, with the second floor and two outer ground floor windows featuring keystones, and a triple window in the centre on the second floor. The ground floor sashes extend to floor level, with the central window having a moulded architrave.

At the rear, there are seven bays, with first floor arched staircase windows in the third and fourth bays from the right. The ground floor and two first floor sashes to the right have slightly segmental heads, and there is an early 19th-century ground floor canted bay window in the second bay from the left. The door in the fourth bay from the left has six raised and fielded panels and a plain architrave.

Inside, the entrance hall features a flagged floor from around 1720, raised and fielded panelled walls, a cornice, a bolection moulded fireplace, and arched doors to the north. The ground floor front room to the left has a mid-19th-century cornice, ceiling rose, and fireplace, while the ground floor front room to the right also has a mid-19th-century cornice. The ground floor room to the right at the rear features a mid-19th-century cornice and ceiling rose.

The staircase hall contains a three-flight square well staircase from around 1720, with landings, turned balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, a fluted Doric column bottom newel, and dado panelling. There is an arched entrance to the drawing room with two three-panelled doors that have an architrave, imposts, a keystone, and an early 19th-century radial tympanum.
