Corn Hall

The Corn Hall is a house dating to circa 1830-35, with alterations and additions made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with a low-pitched hipped slate roof featuring lead rolls to the hips and deep eaves. The roof is punctuated by axial red brick stacks to the left and right of the ridge, each topped with four yellow clay pots.

The house has a rectangular, nearly square, double-depth plan. It originally comprised two principal front rooms, a central entrance and stairhall, and smaller rooms at the rear, behind which is a wide, centrally placed service wing. In the 20th century, the internal plan was re-arranged, and the main entrance was moved to the right-hand (east) side of the rear wing, providing access to a newly created entrance hall. While the plan of the main front block was largely retained, a wide doorway was formed between the original entrance hall and the front right-hand room, and single-story bays were added to the left-hand side.

The symmetrical three-bay front features brick pilasters without capitals or bases in the centre bay and corners. The windows are original 16-pane sashes, with the centre first-floor window being smaller. Flat-gauged brick arches top the windows, and the first-floor windows have 19th-century louvred shutters with shaped valances. A central doorway has a 20th-century moulded wooden architrave and a glazed door.

The right-hand (east) side is symmetrical with two 16-pane sashes on both floors, also with flat-gauged brick arches. The rear wing set back to the right has 16-pane sashes and a 20th-century doorway with a large canopy. The left-hand (west) side has two 16-pane sashes on the first floor and 20th-century brick bays on the ground floor with sashes. To the left, the rear wing set back has 16-pane sashes and a 20th-century glazed door. The rear elevation of the back wing features 16-pane sashes and a 20th-century plank door to the right.

The central stairhall retains an open-well staircase with stick balusters and a moulded mahogany handrail wreathed over moulded cast-iron newel posts. Much of the original interior joinery and plasterwork has been replaced. The right-hand front room features a simple white marble chimneypiece.

The stable and coach house range behind the house is not considered to be of special interest.
