Description

Blamster Hall is a house dating back to the 16th century, with substantial alterations in the early 19th century. It is a two-story red brick building featuring gabled slate roofs. The house comprises two main sections; the northern, lower block is a recased crosswing from the 16th century, and is a surviving portion of the building after a fire. Later, single-story extensions of no historical interest are located at the rear of the north side.

The front facade of the early 19th-century block has three double-hung sash windows over two double-hung sash windows, with what is believed to be a blocked central doorway, now entirely covered with ivy. The crosswing block displays two double-hung sash windows with small panes over one similar, along with a glazed 19th-century bay window. The roof is punctuated by two ridgeline red brick stacks, and a possible 17th-century stack on the crosswing's flank wall.

The rear elevation exhibits red brickwork in a Flemish bond pattern, and segmental window heads constructed with rubbed bricks. The timber frame of the crosswing is characterised by a massive construction with heavy jowls, arched bracing, and halved and bridled scarf joints. Inside the house, a late 18th-century china cupboard features simple pilasters and serpentine shelves.
