Wattlefield Hall

Wattlefield Hall is a country house built in the late 18th century, with a large neo-Elizabethan front added by Buckler in 1856. The building is constructed of brick, featuring a pantiled roof on the older rear section and a slate roof on the front. The main facade has two storeys and an attic, arranged in three large bays, with the outer bays canted outwards. There is a central doorway, and the windows are cross casements with four-centered lights. The roof has a crenellated parapet and two stepped gables, each with an attic casement. The clustered stacks are placed romantically. The lower rear wing is in an H-plan, with a doorway facing the stable court, topped by a four-light overlight. The rear features three late 18th-century cross casements, a gabled roof, and cross wings. The south front was remodelled in the early 19th century, consisting of three bays with three tripartite French windows on the ground floor and two tripartite sashes on the first floor. The gabled roof has two flat dormers with 20th-century details. Inside, the entrance hall features a turned baluster staircase with a moulded ramped and wreathed handrail. The principal room doors have linenfold panelling, and the front left room includes linenfold window screens with pierced and carved spandrels, along with a four-centered stone chimneypiece. The right-hand room has a larger chimneypiece, which is carved with rosettes and fleurons in the frieze.
