The Hall

The Hall is a large house, now converted into flats, dating from 1803. It is constructed of rendered walls with a hipped slated roof and has large rendered chimneys on each side wall of the main range, topped with projecting slate courses. The house is two storeys high with single-storeyed wings. The main block has three windows, while the wings each have one window; the wing to the left is set back further than the other. The ground-floor windows are round-arched and feature small-paned sashes, with the upper sashes’ glazing bars curved to form round-headed and pointed panes. Upper-storey windows in the main range are six-paned sashes. Above the windows in the wings are round-arched, semi-circular niches which are said to contain busts of Byron and Scott. The main range has an eaves cornice with paired brackets. The wings have tall parapets that conceal the roofs. The interior, which has not been inspected, is noted in architectural guides to have a polygonal entrance hall which contains a bust of the builder, Mr. Tucker, made by P. Olivieri in 1828. The staircase features one fluted and one twisted baluster to each tread.
