Description
Gissing Hall is a building that dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, with a wing at the rear constructed of red brick and featuring a slate hipped roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with 18th-century mullion and transom windows, as well as sash windows. The main part of the mansion, built in the Tudor style around 1840, likely has an earlier core. This asymmetrical structure has two storeys and an attic on one side and three storeys on the other. The south side features stepped gables on both the left and right, with the left gable connected to a crenellated clock tower. Near the centre, there is a three-storey projecting porch with a stepped gable, buttresses, and a four-centred arch moulded doorway with carved spandrels. To the right of the porch is a large stair window. The building mainly has three-light mullion and transom windows with drip moulds and chamfered reveals. A large squat central tower is topped with an embattled parapet and a lantern with a wind vane, and there are grouped brick chimney stacks with brick cornices. A modern wing has been added to the north side.
