Bole Hall

Bole Hall is a house, now used as offices, dating to circa 1700. Originally known as Bolehall House, as indicated by an inscription on the pediment, it is constructed of brick with stucco dressings and has a tile roof. The building follows a double-depth plan and is in an Early Georgian style. It has two storeys with an attic, and a symmetrical facade of three windows. The central section projects slightly, with a string course above the ground floor and a top cornice and coped parapet. Pilasters flank the ends of the facade, supporting an entablature. The entrance features a rusticated surround with large, voussoir keystones that interrupt the entablature, topped with a segmental pediment and a glazed door. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches and fielded-panel keystones above the 12-pane, top-hung casements; three flat-roofed dormers have been added in the 20th century. The side returns have coped gables, brick platt bands and pilasters. Windows on the right return have keystones, whereas those on the left return do not. The rear elevation includes a basement arcade, a ground floor balcony, and a blind central ground floor window. Inside, the building has been altered; the staircase to the left of the hall has 20th-century balusters.
