Description
Carleton Hall, along with its outbuildings and stable cottage, is a house dating from the 1790s. It is constructed of stuccoed stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The north-east elevation has two storeys and a three-bay centre flanked by lower recessed wings, with two additional bays to the left, the first of which projects under a hipped roof. The centre section includes a moulded base, frieze, and cornice, with coped gables. The windows are sashed with glazing bars, featuring tall windows on the ground floor and two similar windows in each wing. The two bays to the left have smaller sashed windows with glazing bars. The entrance is marked by a Tuscan porch that has a frieze and cornice, leading to a half-glazed door.
On the north-west return, there is a headstone for Cuthbert Atkinson (who died in 1816), along with an obelisk and an urn with an armorial bearing. The south-west elevation features tripartite sashed windows with glazing bars, while the wing to the right has a flat-roofed outshut with 24-pane sashes and an entrance, and a bay that projects with sashed windows. A courtyard to the south-east is flanked by outbuildings and a stable to the south, which is two storeys high. The roof is hipped at one end, and the south-west elevation has three bays with sashed windows featuring glazing bars. There is a blocked central elliptical-headed cart entrance with an inserted sash, and a similar blocked entrance to the south-east has a round-headed window above it, along with a glazed entrance and garage door with a pitching hole above, and casements on the north-west elevation.
Inside the hall, there is a later teak staircase, and some panelled doors are set within architraves and cornices.
