Meole Brace Hall

Meole Brace Hall is a house built around 1780, with additions made around 1860. It is constructed of brick and features a plain tiled roof. The building has three storeys and a three-window range, with a central entrance. There is a shallow portico supported by fluted Doric columns and a triglyph frieze. To the left of the entrance, there is a tripartite sash window set in a shallow segmental arch, which has a stucco fan motif. On the right side, a similar window has been replaced by a late 19th-century canted bay window. The upper windows are 12-pane sashes with flat-arched gauged brick heads and a continuous stuccoed sill band. The eaves are adorned with a modillion cornice, and there are stacks on the end walls. The garden front features a full-height projecting bow with sash windows that have flat-arched stuccoed heads and a cornice. To the right of the entrance front, there is a single-storeyed wing that is recessed, which includes French doors topped with interlace Gothick tracery overlights. A service block was added to the rear in the later 19th century.
