Description
Kentmere Hall and the attached barn form a tower house and farmhouse with a barn that has a hayloft over the shippon. The tower house dates back to the 14th century, while the farmhouse likely dates from the late 14th or early 15th century, featuring later alterations and a kitchen extension at the rear. The barn is probably an 18th-century alteration of an earlier wing. The buildings have rubble walls, with the house rendered and roofs made of graduated greenslate. The house has a single ridge chimney stack.
The tower has a 20th-century flat roof that replaced the original pitched roof and was originally four storeys high, including a vaulted ground floor. The house is two storeys tall. The tower features slit openings with flat heads and an inserted medieval window on the south wall, which has two trefoiled ogee lights in a square head with a moulded label and a blank panel above. The house contains 20th-century windows and doors, one of which retains its original stone surround. The passage doorway has a pointed head and continuous chamfered jamb, and there is a small window with stone mullions at the rear.
Inside the tower, there is a garderobe projection in the northwest corner, a spiral staircase, and a blocked doorway in the northeast corner, which is likely the original entrance.
