Description
High Hall is a house built around 1840, constructed of red brick with stone dressings and topped with red plain tiled roofs. It features two large red brick chimney stacks on the front, along with several more at the rear and on the returns, each with 2, 3, or 4 diagonal shafts and moulded caps. The house is symmetrical and designed in the Jacobean style, inspired by Thrumpton Hall in Nottinghamshire, which dates to around 1608. There have been alterations and additions to the returns and rear of the building.
The house has two storeys and a main range that includes forward gabled wings on the left and right, along with a central porch. All gables have coping. The two-storey porch is adorned with octagonal buttresses topped with twisted pinnacles. The windows are arranged in a pattern of 1:0:1:1:1, consisting of 2 or 3 light transoms with mullions and ornate lights, and there is a small attic window on the right gable. The entrance features plank and muntin double doors set in a moulded stone surround with a square head, traceried spandrels, and a label above.
