Description
Gifford’s Hall is an early 19th-century house originally of three window bays, now with a later addition at the north-west end creating a four-window range. The original block is stuccoed and has two storeys. The windows are well-proportioned double-hung sashes with glazing bars. A central doorway originally existed, now replaced with a modern door. The roof is slate and hipped. The building is of group value, contributing to the character of the area.
