Hale House

Hale House is an 18th-century house with 19th-century extensions at the rear, located on Oakwood Hill Road in Abinger. The front is constructed of brown brick, while the rear features red brick with a tile-hung first floor. It has a hipped Horsham slab roof at the front and plain-tiled roofs at the rear. The house is two storeys high, set on a basement plinth at the front, with a plat band over the ground floor and a moulded, brick-dentilled eaves cornice. There are stacks located at the rear, left and right of the center.

The front has a regular five-bay arrangement with 12-pane glazing bar sash windows. There are five windows on the first floor in open boxes and four windows below, which are under gauged brick heads from the 19th century, with one window on the right blocked. The basement has four openings, two on the left that are louvred and two on the right that are leaded. The central entrance features a three-quarter glazed door, accessed by a flight of five steps with plain wrought iron railings, set in a deep reveal and topped with a traceried fanlight. The door is framed by a depressed arched, roll-moulded head with a grotesque leaf face keystone beneath an open pediment on brackets.

To the right of the main front is a one-bay addition. The right-hand return front has one 12-pane and one 16-pane glazing bar sash window on the first floor, with a tripartite sash window to the left. The ground floor features three single sash windows on the right, and a larger 16-pane and tripartite window to the left. There is a lower 19th-century wing to the right with a front stack. The left-hand return front has an angle bay at the right corner with brick steps leading to the front, and one 12-pane glazing-bar sash window on each floor to the left.
