Grove Hall

Grove Hall is a house built around 1830, located in Grove Park, Brislington. It features a double-depth plan and is designed in a late Georgian style. The building has three storeys and a four-window range, with a symmetrical front that is set back to the left. The doorway is positioned at the left-hand end of the projecting front section. The façade includes pilasters with incised Greek Revival-style details that rise through the cornice to a parapet with acroteria, creating a square shaft out of the chimney in the left-hand internal angle. The first-floor windows have sill bands and a parapet, while the ground-floor windows are low 6/6-pane sashes, and the top floor has 3/3-pane windows. The first-floor central and left-hand end windows are adorned with architraves and console pediments. The porch is crenellated, supported by cast-iron columns, and features a 20th-century door, with a semicircular-arched stair window above.

The rear elevation, which was originally the main front, has a symmetrical five-window range. It includes rusticated pilaster strips, a sill band, and a cornice beneath the parapet that extends along the gables. The ground and first floors have low 6/6-pane horned sashes, while the second floor has 3/3-pane windows. The central porch has columns with palmette capitals, an entablature with triglyphs, and an open pediment, along with a 20th-century glazed door and fanlight.

Inside, the front hall features an open-well cantilevered stone stair with a wide curtail and cast-iron balusters. There is a semicircular-arched recess in the hall with fluted Ionic columns on either side of a large mirror and a moulded ceiling. The first-floor landing has a similar ceiling, and there are panelled shutters and stone fireplace surrounds with corner roundels.
