Description
Colleton Hall is a small country house situated in a wooded setting, built in the early 19th century. It has a rubble core, originally stuccoed and colourwashed, with tall rendered stacks, two groups of three and one single stack. The house is planned with a single room depth and three wings projecting to the front garden. To the extreme right of the front are service rooms and a later folly. Inside, there are two principal reception rooms flanking a large entrance hall. The architecture is in the Gothick style.
The exterior is two storeys high, with a window arrangement of 1:1:1:2:3. The windows are casements with glazing bars and marginal lights. The second bay from the left is in a projecting wing with a coping, and the fourth bay has a gabled projecting wing with two point-arched windows on the ground floor and Y-tracery bays to each side of the projecting wing, the one to the left being canted. Iron balconies are positioned over the bays. More recent 20th-century casements are on the right side. A late 19th-century folly or garden room, in a loose medieval style with a conical roof and narrow semi-circular headed openings, is located on the extreme right of the front, with a plank door in the door opening. A principal door opening to the rear was created in the mid-20th century, featuring a pair of half-glazed doors.
The interior of the entrance hall features plaster Gothick vaulting with ribs and bosses, and two archways with pointed arch heads and moulded surrounds. A neo-Georgian style staircase was inserted into the entrance hall in the mid-20th century, at the same time as alterations were made to the rest of the interior, including the incorporation of neo-Georgian features such as chimneypieces.
