Description
Blakeshall Hall is a country house that may date back to the 18th century, with remodels and extensions made in the mid-19th century and late 19th century. The building is constructed of stuccoed brick and features a hipped slate roof. It stands two storeys tall, with a central section that projects forward, topped by a parapet with a balustrade.
The facade includes five windows, which are glazing bar sashes set within shouldered and eared architraves, with the central window featuring a segmental pediment. On the ground floor, there are 15-pane sashes in similar architraves, and a central portico supported by Doric columns, which has a moulded cornice. The entrance behind the portico is framed by a moulded architrave and includes a fanlight above a two-leaf half-glazed door.
To the right-hand corner of the building is a three-storey square-plan tower that has a balustraded parapet and a cornice with modillions. The second floor of the tower features a three-bay arcade, with a window in the centre. The first floor has a glazing bar sash in an architrave, while the ground floor includes a Venetian window. The angle between the tower and the main house is connected by a quadrant plan linking section.
