Packington Hall

Packington Hall is a country house, now used as offices, dating from the mid-18th century and reputedly designed by Benjamin Wyatt. The building features cement rendered brickwork with rendered quoins and bands. It has a moulded cornice beneath a coped crenellated parapet, which includes three curved gables and obelisk finials that conceal the roof, which has two groups of moulded ridge stacks. The house is two storeys tall with attics and has a nine-window front, with quoined raised surrounds and blank round-arched heads. Moulded keyblocks are present above the arches, which rise into a band or cornice. All windows are late 20th century glazing bar casements. The central three bays display pilaster articulation on the first floor and feature a Doric half-columned porte-cochere on the ground floor, with round arches on the front and side bays, along with a crenellated parapet topped with obelisk finials. The side fronts have two-storey bows with crenellated parapets that are recessed to the left and right. The interior has not been inspected but may be of interest.
