Description
Up Hall is a late 18th-century house constructed of red brick with pantile roofing and gable parapets. It originally comprised three bays over two storeys, with a basement and attics. The brickwork is English bond to the ground floor window sill level, and Flemish bond above. Windows have skewback arches and stone sills, with flush tripartite sashes with glazing bars to the ground and first floor bays one and three. There are two attic roof dormers, and the basement windows consist of two recessed sashes with six panes and three panes per bay. The window to the left of the first-bay basement is now a doorway.
A projecting two-storey porch was later added to the central bay, featuring a pedimented and modillioned gable, flint to the returns, and a doorway with classical surrounds, an entablature, and a rectangular light over a renewed eight-panelled door. The first floor of the porch has a recessed sash window with glazing bars, and a keystone to the flat arch. The left return is in English bond to eaves level, with an external stack servicing the ground floor and a small circular window in the left attic.
Around 1955, a four-bay, one-and-a-half-story addition was constructed to the right return, also in English bond. This addition has sashes with glazing bars to the ground floor and segmental-headed sashes with glazing bars to the half-dormers.
The rear elevation is five bays wide and rendered, with black, unglazed pantiles. A central, three-storey projecting stair turret with a hipped roof is prominent, featuring a six-panelled door (the upper four panels glazed), a semi-circular headed sash with glazing bars to the stair, and a small semi-circular headed sash to the third storey. Bays four and five have basement windows, and the ground and first floor windows are sashes with six panes by three panes.
A two-bay, flat-roofed rendered addition projects forward of the first and second bays, featuring a canted angle with recessed sashes with glazing bars in a four-by-four pane arrangement. To the left is a three-bay, two-storey range built around 1955 in a 19th-century style, rendered with a plat band and having pantiles to a steep roof, gable parapets, and sashes with glazing bars; the ground floor sashes are set into the ground floor.
An attached garden wall is located to the left, built of galletted clunch with brick dressings and a horizontal band of broken flint.
The interior features a closed string dogleg staircase with a ramped mahogany handrail and vase-turned balusters, along with a turned newel. A door to a room on the left hand side has six raised and fielded panels.
