Description
Basford Hall is a country house built in the 1830s and enlarged around 1856. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone of ashlar quality, featuring a slate roof and tiled roofs on the additions, with triple octagonal shafted end and ridge stacks. The architectural style is Tudoresque, and the house is a large rectangular block consisting of two parallel ranges, with the stables forming an 'L' shape that adjoins the north angle.
The entrance front is asymmetrical, featuring two gables that project on corbel blocks and are topped by large stacks. The left gable has a wide breast that divides it, while the right gable contains most of the windows, all of which have chamfered stone mullions and transoms. There is an oriel window on the first floor to the right, a three-light window below it, and a two-light window on the first floor to the left, above a slightly projecting single-storey porch with a boarded door. The left gable has narrow single-light windows on each floor beside the chimney, except for the first floor on the right. The plain gables are adorned with coats-of-arms of the Sneyd family.
A string course at first-floor level visually connects the main house with the carriage entry and stables to the right, which frame the open entry court. The carriage entry is a single storey with an attic, featuring a large corbelled dormer above a Tudor-arch carriageway, flanked by a two-light window on the left and a projecting stack on the right. The lower stable range, dated 1856, is similar in style but distinct due to its patterned tile roof. It consists of a long range with a slightly projecting central two-storey block that has a projecting gable with a datestone over a two-light oriel and Tudor-arch boarded doors. The flanking wings have two blind chamfered mullioned openings, each glazed only on the left end, and a more recent double door on the left side between the windows.
