Description
Balterley Hall is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 17th century and underwent significant restoration around 1870. It features red and blue chequered brickwork in Flemish bond, complemented by a sandstone ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. The roof is slate with stone coping on shaped gables, and there are both a brick ridge stack and an external end stack. The building is oriented north-east to south-west, with the main façade facing south-west and displaying three storeys plus an attic within the gable.
The south-west front has three bays, featuring 19th-century cross casements with moulded sills and cyma recta moulded dripstone strings. The string over the second-floor windows is elevated over a lozenge-shaped datestone, which is currently indecipherable. The ground floor includes three-light stone mullioned windows with rebated surrounds, and there is a 19th-century doorway to the right with a three-centred head. Attached to the right is a late 19th-century wing that is two storeys high, with two cross casements featuring straight hoodmoulds on the ground floor, and a six-light casement above.
On the north-west front, there is a single-bay projecting gabled wing to the left, which is two storeys tall and includes an attic. The ground floor features a four-light chamfered mullioned window with a rebated surround, while above are 19th-century cross casements. To the immediate right of the wing, there are three storeys of single-light windows, with the ground floor window having a rebated surround, matched by a similar window further to the right. The south-east front shows the gable of the 19th-century wing to the left, and to the right is the 17th-century range, which has three storeys and three bays of 19th-century cross casements.
