Shingle Hall

This is a house, formerly a manor house, dating back to around 1400, with substantial alterations in the late 19th century. The original timber frame is largely hidden beneath a gault brick casing, with extensions constructed in brick. The roofs are a mix of clay peg tiles and Welsh slates. The building has a complex layout with two parallel ranges running north/south, a return block at the north end, and a projecting wing on the west front. All roofs are gabled, featuring fretted bargeboards.

The east front presents a three-bay block with double-hung sash windows featuring segmented heads and a single vertical glazing bar. There are three gabled domes, a dentilled cornice, and a central porch. To the north of this is another gabled block, with a projecting single-storey extension boasting a balustraded roof terrace. The east front windows are a mixture of double-hung sashes with small panes and 19th-century casements, some with plain upper lights, small panes, and hexagonal upper panes.

The west elevation incorporates a partially exposed late 18th-century doorcase featuring a low-pitched pediment supported by scroll brackets with pendant mutules, alongside a contemporary eight-panelled door, all set within a 19th-century segmented headed arch recess.

Inside, a section of a first-floor hall dating from around 1400 survives, alongside an additional service bay above a timber-framed undercroft. The undercroft floor is supported by a spine beam with Samson posts and heavy arch bracing. The surviving crown post roof features a moulded capital and base to the central crown post. To the south of this is a 17th-century range with re-used, soot-blackened rafters and a 17th-century panelled room on the ground floor. An eastern range is also timber framed, likely dating from the late 17th to early 18th century.
