Description
Woolston Hall is a house with origins dating back to the late 16th century, which underwent significant alterations in the 18th century and is now used as a club. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It is oriented approximately northeast to southwest, with the main facade facing southeast. An external chimney stack is located at the northeast end, and there is another chimney stack at the rear of the southwest end. Large extensions have been added to the rear of the southwest end, enclosing the latter stack.
The house has two storeys with attics. The southeast elevation features a central six-panel door set within a fluted and dentilled doorcase. There are six double-hung sash windows with 12 lights on the ground floor and seven on the first floor, along with a heavy dentilled cornice and five hipped dormers with double-hung sash windows of nine lights. Two rainwater heads on this elevation bear crests.
On the southwest elevation, there are double doors with six fielded panels and a fanlight with 20th-century leaded glass. A porch supported by paired Doric columns and pilasters features a frieze, cornice, and wrought iron railings above. This elevation also includes two tripartite sash windows with four, twelve, and four lights, dating from the 19th century. On the first floor, there is a central French window that opens onto the roof of the porch, along with two tripartite windows. The attic has two irregularly shaped dormers with double-hung sash windows of nine lights and a heavy dentilled cornice.
The interior is mostly hidden by modern decor, but one ceiling in a first-floor room features a moulded guilloche and egg-and-dart border. In the roof, there is arched wind bracing to clasped purlins. The diagonal chimney shafts noted in the 1952 schedule are not present as of 1983.
