Description
Imphy Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, with an earlier range at the northeast corner and later additions. The building is timber framed and rendered, with parts cased in soft red brick arranged in Flemish bond. The roof is covered with handmade clay plain tiles.
The house features a central brick stack in the main range and an external brick stack, which is partly rendered at the base, located at the north gable end of the earlier range. It is a two-storey and attic lobby entrance house with a central stair tower at the rear and single-storey outshots. The front (south) elevation has a three-window range, with 20th-century tripartite sash windows featuring small panes on both the ground and first floors. There are three gabled dormers with small-paned casements. Two bays are cased in brick with arched window heads, while the remaining bay is rendered with pentice boards above the windows. A 20th-century brick gabled porch with a plain tile roof is present.
At the east end, there is a rendered single-storey lean-to that matches the tripartite windows. The west elevation is brick cased on the ground and first floors, while the rear outshot and gable end are rendered. The rear (north) elevation of the main range has a central rendered stair tower with small-paned casements and a hipped plain tile roof. Brick outshots are located on either side, featuring a boarded door and three casement windows. The north gable end of the earlier range is rendered, with an external brick stack that is rendered at the base. The central tapered section is partly rendered, with a square brick stack above supported by iron. The east elevation of the rear range is plastered, with a three-window range of small casements featuring four panes each. A door is located at the north end within a modern open porch that has a plain tile lean-to roof.
Internally, much of the frame is exposed, including a fully framed side purlin roof in the main range that incorporates several rafters from an earlier crown post roof. The earlier range has a clasped side purlin roof with wind bracing. The original dog-leg stair in the stair tower features simple square section balusters.
