Moseley Hall

Moseley Hall is an early 18th-century house with a late 19th-century addition, located on Moseley Road, Wolverhampton. It is a building of group value. The house is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, and has a hipped tile roof, while the addition has a slate roof. Brick stacks are present throughout.

The house is designed in an Early Georgian style, comprising two storeys with an attic. The main range is symmetrical with a five-window front, and to the left is a two-window gabled addition. The main range features a modillioned cornice, quoins, and windows with rubbed brick flat arches, keystones, and 12-pane horned sashes. There are three hipped dormers with 6-pane sashes in the roof. The central entrance has an architrave with a keystone, a plaster surround, a frieze, and a consoled cornice. Above the door is an overlight with decorative glazing bars, and the door itself is of 6 fielded panels. Two large stacks are also present.

The addition has a coped and shaped gable, pilaster strips with ball finials and windows similar to those in the main range. The first-floor windows in the addition are 4-pane sashes. A short screen to the left has a sash window. The right return of the main range is three bays, and similar in design to the front.

The rear elevation is similar, but includes a 19th-century bay with a 20th-century parapet and a French window. The addition has an architraved French window and sashes. A single-storey projection to the right incorporates a modillioned cornice, quoins, three blind windows, and a window to the inner return.

The interior includes a staircase with a pulvinated close string, column-on-vase balusters, square newels, a ramped handrail, and a bolection-moulded dado panelling. A room to the left retains 17th-century panelling with a fluted frieze and cornice, a cupboard with H hinges, and a door with H-L hinges. Another room features early 18th-century bolection-moulded panelling with a dado rail, a round-headed niche, a Neoclassical fireplace, cornice and round beams. A further room has a parquetry floor, a Neoclassical fireplace, and a cornice. An end room contains stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The first floor has some 2-fielded-panel doors and architraved fireplaces. The attic stair is similar to the main staircase. A 17th-century fitted cupboard is also present.

Moseley Hall is a good example of an early 18th-century house, one of several in the borough, and is notable for its fine interior features.
