Description
Pynkney Hall is a country house with a history dating back to 1587, now primarily a 17th-century building encased in a mid-Georgian north front and a "Queen Anne" style south front designed by architect Ewan Christian in 1888. The entrance front features three storeys, with a three-bay centre and two slightly recessed brick arches that have glazing bars, replacing the original plate glass from 1888. There is a central single-storey brick porch with rusticated quoins, a rubbed brick arch, a cornice, and a parapet. The ground floor has a brick plinth, while the first and second floors have brick platbands, eaves, and a dentil cornice, topped with a central pediment that displays a stone lozenge with the datestone of 1587. The hipped roofs are complemented by two ridge stacks. The strong mid-18th-century character of this facade suggests it is a reproduction of a facade that existed in 1888.
Inside, the first floor to the west contains panelled rooms from the middle and second half of the 17th century, with the centre featuring panelling from around 1700. The rear of the building consists of three three-storey Dutch-gabled wings in a somewhat unremarkable "Queen Anne" or Domestic Revival style, featuring partly glazing-bar sashes. Attached to the entrance facade on the east and west sides are 17th-century flint curtain walls adorned with brick lozenges, coped brick parapets, and brick end piers topped with ball finials from around 1700.
