Description
Turners Hall House, including the rear outbuilding, is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with likely earlier elements. The building features a timber frame, a painted red brick ground floor, and a roughcast upper floor, topped with a plain tile roof. It has an L-shape and consists of two storeys and attics.
The tall cross wing on the left side, which is from the mid to late 17th century, has large red brick chimney stacks at both gable ends. The front stack has a tall base with a plinth and step backs, and near the top, there is a modillioned brick cornice with brick coping, along with three octagonal shafts featuring roll mouldings. The main range is lower and likely contained a hall adjacent to the cross wing.
The ground floor has four glazing bar casements, while the upper floor has two, arranged over two bays. There is a central mid to late 17th century chimney stack with an ovolo-moulded base and three diagonal shafts. The right bay may have served as a cross wing and has a brick ground floor that is slightly built forward. The garden elevation of the wing features three windows, with canted bays on either side of a hipped porch and two attic dormers.
Attached to the rear of the cross wing is a small single-storey outbuilding from the mid to late 17th century, constructed with a timber frame, red brick, and weatherboarding, also covered by a plain tile roof.
