Bergh Apton Hall

Bergh Apton Hall is a country house with origins in the early 18th century and later additions from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a steeply pitched hipped pantile roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, with an L-shaped plan. The symmetrical north facade consists of seven bays arranged in a 2:3:2 pattern, separated by pilasters that have moulded brick capitals. The windows are cross casement types, which are 20th-century replacements, set beneath keyed and rusticated segmental arches. There are square recessed panels between the ground floor and first floor windows.

The central doorway has six panels, although the doorcase was removed for repair at the time of the survey. The central first floor window is square-headed, featuring rusticated quoins and a flat keyed rubbed brick arch. Above, there is a central gabled roof dormer with a 2-light casement. Two chimney stacks are symmetrically placed along the ridge line. A platband runs at first floor level on the south, east, and west walls. At the east end of the south wall, there are two sash windows with glazing bars.

On the south side, there is a staircase projection that includes a cross-casement window at half-level and a lunette vent below. A 2½ storey wing is located at the south-west corner, featuring segmental headed casements and a wedge-dormer with a 2-light casement. To the west, there is a one-storey service range with a parapeted west gable that has continuous tumbling-in and an internal chimney stack. The segmental headed casements in this area have been altered. There are two chimney stacks on the ridge line.

The interior of the house has been largely modernised but still retains a good contemporary staircase with turned balusters, a swept handrail, and square fielded panelled newels.
