Description
Hales Place is a large, early 16th century timber-framed house, originally L-shaped, that has undergone substantial alterations over time. The external appearance is now a mix of red brick, red mathematical tiles, weather tiles, and a visible strip of timber framing. It has a tiled roof and features a number of original windows with wooden mullions and diamond panes, alongside 18th century sash windows with intact glazing bars, and more modern windows. Brick chimney stacks are also present. A doorcase on the south side is characterized by Caryatid columns supporting a four-centred arch, while a doorcase on the north side has a flat hood supported by grotesque Caryatids and incorporates a 10-panelled door. The interior retains notable features including a good staircase, panelling, fireplaces, and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Hales Place, together with the other listed buildings within its grounds, forms a group.
