Description
Whitestock Hall is a house built around 1802, with an addition from 1850. It features roughcast stone and slate roofs, is two storeys high, and has five bays, with low connecting bays leading to single-storey, single-bay pavilions. The building has a first-floor sill band, a top cornice, and a coped parapet. The windows are sashed with glazing bars. The central entrance includes a porch supported by unfluted Doric columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course, with paired panelled doors and a fanlight that has radial glazing bars. There are gable-end stacks and a cross-axial stack. The connecting bay to the left is made of stone rubble, while the one to the right features a large plate-glass window. The pavilions have simple pediments, sashed windows with glazing bars, and gable-end stacks. A similar wing at the rear has a datestone and matching details, including a modillioned cornice.
