Description

The Hall is a house built in 1846 for a member of the Smyth family, who owned the nearby agricultural drill works, likely James Smyth. The building features white brick, partly colourwashed, with a slated roof. It has two storeys and a basement, presenting a symmetrical three-bay entrance front. This front includes French windows with flat arches and a three-centre arched doorway set within an arched recess, featuring double three-panel doors with panelled reveals and a plain fanlight.

At the first floor level, there is a wide balcony that spans the entire facade. This balcony is made of cast iron with decorative railings and is supported by cast iron brackets, which are likely products of Smyth's iron foundry. The building also has a moulded eaves cornice and a flat parapet.

To the right side, there is a small conservatory, while the garden front also has three bays with similar cast iron balconies for each of the first floor windows. Attached to the left side is a notable mid-19th century conservatory that contains a grotto.

Local climate

The Hall sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 85% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
