Copper Hall

Copper Hall is a house dating to the late 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and late 20th centuries. It is constructed primarily of yellow brick and pink brick in a Flemish bond, with window arches in red brick. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house is two storeys with an attic, and has a three-bay facade.

The road-facing elevation features sashes with glazing bars, set under flat red brick arches. Later 20th-century sashes with glazing bars are present in bays two (ground floor) and three (first floor), whilst a 20th-century small-pane door occupies the ground floor right-hand window opening. A later 20th-century window has been inserted between the right-hand windows on the ground floor. A plat band and an eaves band are visible below a coped parapet. The hipped roof features a ridge stack to the left of centre, and another at the right side.

The left return, or entrance, elevation has a central entrance with a six-panel door featuring egg and dart moulding, an overlight with decorative glazing bars, and a classical wooden architrave with fluted pilasters and a pediment. Canted bays, added in the 19th century and restored in the late 20th century, flank the entrance and incorporate 16-pane sashes flanked by 12-pane sashes, along with blocking courses and slate roofs. The first floor windows mirror those on the road elevation. A stack is located on the left side.

The rear elevation consists of four door openings, with the second door being of six panels (the top two glazed), while the others are small-paned and ¾ glazed. A small, inserted window lies between the left-hand doors. A blocked opening exists between the central doors. Segmental brick arches are found over these openings, as well as around the stair window (positioned between the central doors) which has a 12-pane sash. Three 12-pane sashes are set below stepped eaves on the first floor. An external stack is visible on the right side, and two late 20th-century dormers are present.

The interior of the house features panelled doors and shutters, decorative cornices – the left-hand room has a guilloche and pineapple band, while the entrance hall has a fluted frieze with leaf detail – and decorative marble fireplaces (the rear room fireplace was moved down from the first floor). A fluted arch is located within the hallway. A dog-leg open-string staircase has a wave-moulded soffit, two turned column-on-vase balusters per tread, columnar newels (replaced at the bottom), and a ramped handrail. The kitchen retains an old pump and a small-paned, ½-glazed door leading into the hall. Brick-paved service rooms are also present.
