Description

Weston Hall Hotel is a country house, originally dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. It was restored and altered, with a large wing added in 1893. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar, featuring a moulded plinth and string courses. The roofs are tiled, with coped gable parapets, moulded kneelers and lateral, end, and ridge stacks largely dating from 1893. These stacks have volutes, pilaster strips, and moulded cornices. The original U-plan has been extended to an F-plan on the left.

The main block comprises three bays with three large gables, arranged symmetrically. The main entrance has a C19/C20 half-glazed door set within a moulded stone surround. Stone mullioned and transomed windows are present, with some replacements on the left side. The wings feature four-light windows. The gables have three-light windows with moulded cornices. The right return side has twin gables, and a late 19th-century bow window on the ground floor. The left return side features a canted bay abutting the wing.

The wing is two storeys and has an attic; it is a three-window range. A large flat-roofed porch, with a half-glazed door in an Elizabethan-style surround incorporating ornamented pilasters, pedestals, a cartouche, and strapwork cresting, spans the third bay. The wing also includes a mullioned window, a gabled dormer with a mullioned window, a blank ground-floor bay, and a window above. The rear of the building has been altered.

Internally, the open-well staircase has turned balusters and a soffit of re-used 17th-century panelling. The hall fireplace is of the late 19th century but incorporates a Jacobean carved arcade in the overmantel and turned, carved shafts. A room to the right has an elaborate Rococo-style fireplace. The interior was significantly altered in the late 19th century.

The amateur sculptor Richard Hayward resided at Weston Hall. Attached gatepiers, located at the outer corners of the property, have a moulded plinth and cornice, and hemispherical tops.
