Description

Puncharden Hall is a house dating from the early 17th century, substantially refronted in the mid-18th century. The building incorporates a timber-framed rear range from the 17th century, characterised by a tiled roof and gabled bays with mullioned windows. A prominent brick chimney stack rises from the rear range, featuring four octagonal shafts. The front facade presents a red brick appearance, with plain brick banding at parapet and first-floor levels. It is double-fronted with two windows, set within segmental arched openings faced with red brick. Modern architraved casement windows with two lights are present, alongside modern five-light splayed bay French windows in the outer bays. An architraved doorway leads to the entrance, featuring a raised and fielded panel door and a rectangular fanlight. The interior includes a half-panelled hall and a dogleg staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels. Later 19th-century service ranges and a red brick stable block complete with a wooden fleche are located at the rear of the property.
