Description
Kent Hall is a house built around 1850 by T.E. Owen, located on Queen's Crescent in Southsea. The building is stuccoed with a Welsh slate roof and has a rendered stack on the right side of the three-storey block. It features three storeys and three bays, along with a two-storey, two-bay extension to the right.
The entrance on the left side of the extension has a five-panelled door with the upper panel glazed and a blinded overlight. It is flanked by broad stuccoed pilasters, with a frieze and cornice above. To the right of the entrance, there is a four-pane sash window followed by a fixed casement with a top ventilator. On the left side, there is a shallow projecting plinth beneath three six-pane sashes.
On the first floor, the extension has a later three-light diagonally leaded casement window with a four-pane sash to the right. The left-hand block features a moulded first-floor sillband with three six-pane sashes; the centre sash has an iron balcony supported by shaped stuccoed brackets. There is also a sillband below three six-pane sashes on the second floor, and the building has projecting eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
