Dunstall Hall And Attached Orangery

Dunstall Hall is a country house built in the early 19th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a flat roof that is hidden behind a cornice and a balustraded parapet, with ashlar stacks beyond the parapet. The house has a large L-shaped plan.

On the garden front, which faces east, the house is two storeys high and has a layout of three bays, followed by four bays, and then three bays again. There is a raised string course at the first floor level, and the windows are glazing bar sashes, although the glazing bars have been removed from the ground floor. The central recess is lower and set back, and there is a seven-bay orangery attached to the right, featuring semi-circular headed glazing bar sashes.

The entrance front, facing south, includes a tetrastyle Ionic porte cochere from the 1850s, which has a parapet fretted with the inscription "IS QUIDEDIT MIHI SERVIT." Above the porte cochere, there is a tripartite sash window in the bay, which is topped by a frieze at the parapet level and a pediment that is set against the attic storey tower. The pediment displays a coat-of-arms in a cartouche. To the left of the porch, there are two windows, and to the right, there is one window (formerly two). A chamfered break to the left leads into a late 19th-century ballroom wing that has seven bays and a similar style, finished with a three-sided bay.

The entrance beyond the porte cochere is elaborately carved with low-relief hunting scenes in an Art Nouveau style, created by Edward Griffiths around 1898. Inside, the staircase, also designed by Griffiths around 1900, features carvings of foliage and zoo animals. The main hall contains a Roman mosaic depicting Cerberus, which is said to have come from Tivoli.
