Description
Admington Hall is a mansion dating back to the 17th century, significantly refronted around 1800. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs. The building presents a Georgian facade and follows a double-depth plan.
The exterior is three storeys high with a six-window front. It features a plinth, a sill band to the first floor, a modillioned cornice, a parapet, and a distyle-in-antis Tuscan porch with paired glazed doors and side sashes, positioned to the right of the centre of the front. Ground floor windows have sills, architraves, friezes, and pediments, housing 6/6 sashes. First-floor windows are similar but with cornices and 3/6 sashes, while a tripartite window above the entrance has 2/4:3/6:2/4 sashes. The second floor windows have architraves and 3/3 sashes, with a tripartite window over the entrance featuring 2/2:3/3:2/2 sashes. The roof is hipped and gabled, punctuated by stone cross-axial stacks. A stuccoed, two-storey wing adjoins the left return, and a right return shows continuous hoodmoulds to the ground and first floors, an inserted entrance, and three- and three-light ovolo-mullioned windows with leaded glazing, one featuring diamond panes. A nine-pane sash is located to the left of a blocked window on the first floor.
The rear elevation is two storeys with gabled dormers and a three-storey bay to the left end. A hipped porch provides access, featuring rounded angles to an ovolo-moulded opening and a heavy plank door. The ground floor incorporates three three-light ovolo-mullioned windows, the first floor four two-light windows, and the top floor a three-light window, with three gabled dormers, each with a two-light window and coped gables with finials. A two-storey 19th-century brick wing extends to the right end, and a single-storey service wing is present with a datestone reading "M C/ 1813" (Michael Corbet).
The interior includes a hall with a segmental arch across the centre and panelling, an Adam-style fireplace, and an open-well ashlar staircase likely originally in an open court. The staircase has cantilevered moulded steps and enriched iron balusters. There are also several 19th-century fireplaces and panelling. The kitchen features a large, broadly chamfered beam, the end terminating over the king mullion of a window, and a large stone fireplace with a bressumer extending over a cupboard.
