Description

Corner Hall is a house that dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a refronting and extension that occurred in the early 18th century. The building features a timber frame with whitewashed brick nogging, some roughcast areas, and tiled roofs. It has an L-shaped plan with three bay ranges and additional structures at the inside angle, rising to two storeys.

The front is roughcast, with a central entrance that includes an early 19th-century moulded doorcase and a bracketed hood. On either side of the entrance are 16-pane glazing bar sash windows with cambered heads. The first floor has 8-pane sashes set in flush frame architraves. The building has a plinth and dentilled brick eaves, topped by a hipped roof.

To the right, there is an extruded stack with a first-floor sash window facing the front and a ground-floor sash window towards the rear. A cross wing is located to the left, where the central entrance has been blocked. The left return shows exposed posts, rails, and studs, with large panels and a mix of sash and casement windows. The entrance is located towards the rear. Between the two bays closest to the front, there is a large axial ridge stack.

The rear gable end of the cross wing displays exposed framing and braces to the tie beams, indicating a clasped purlin roof. An early 18th-century block has been added to the inner elevation of the cross wing, featuring a separate hipped roof and two bays at the rear. The ground floor has two-light casements and an entrance with a cambered head, while the first floor includes a sash window and a blind opening, both with cambered heads. There is a corbelled out stack and dentilled brick eaves. Attached to the rear of the front range and adjoining the 18th-century block is a timber-framed section, possibly a stair wing, which has ground floor two-light casements, a first-floor sash, and an exposed frame with smaller scantling and irregular panels, all beneath a hipped roof. The interior has not been inspected.
