Description
Shelton Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, possibly with earlier origins, located within a rectangular moated site. The building is constructed of coursed rubble, incorporating some red brick, and has a rendered finish. The front features a slate roof, while the rear has clay tiles. It is a large rectangular block with two storeys and has ashlar chimney stacks at the ridge and gable ends, with the ridge and southwest gable stacks being double. The windows are sashes with glazing bars on both the front and rear, and there are small round-headed sashes, including one above the main door, which lights the staircase. The doorheads on both front elevation doors are notable, with the main door to the left being six panels high, with the top two pairs glazed.
Inside, the first-floor west room features a four-centred stone arched chimneypiece set in square-headed cyma reversa moulding. There is a newel close string staircase with turned balusters. A 20th-century two-storey extension has been added to the rear northeast. The building is thought to be the west wing of a former quadrangle of medieval origin, suggested by its siting and the thickness of some external walls.
