Description

Blodwel Hall is a farmhouse that underwent remodelling in the early 19th century, originally dating back to 1707, with later additions and alterations. The building features red brick in a mixed bond for the early 18th-century part and larger red bricks for the 19th-century additions. The original T-shaped house was given a second floor in the early 19th century, during which the current windows were inserted and chimneys built. A late 19th-century red brick addition is located at the rear on the right.

The farmhouse stands three storeys high and has a chamfered plinth, a moulded band at the first floor, and corner pilasters that reach the heads of the first-floor windows, all of which are elements of the 18th-century structure. The eaves cornice is toothed and dates from the time when the eaves were raised. There are three widely spaced windows featuring 16-paned glazing bar sashes with slightly cambered gauged heads on the ground and first floors, and horizontal sliding sashes directly below the eaves. The entrance is positioned immediately to the right of the central window, featuring a 19th-century half-glazed door with a rectangular overlight and narrow flanking windows beneath a gabled timber porch. Above the entrance, there is a re-set datestone on the second floor with the inscription "IBU / 1707" alongside a plain armorial shield.

The house has a large integral end stack on the left, a narrower ridge stack to the left of centre, and another integral end stack on the right, all topped with moulded capping. There is an additional stack at the junction of the rear range with the main range.

Attached to the north-west corner of the house is a garden wall from the early 18th century, made of red brick on the garden side and uncoursed limestone rubble on the rear, topped with ashlar coping. The wall extends approximately 30 meters before turning at a right angle to the west for about 45 meters to meet a summerhouse. The garden wall incorporates a contemporary outbuilding with a graded slate roof located in the north-east angle. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to retain some interesting features, and there is a cellar to the right.
