Description
The Old Nursery wing at Busby Hall is a former wing of Busby Hall, now used as holiday cottages, located on the north side of the main building. It likely dates back to the 16th century but was refronted in the late 18th or early 19th century. The structure is built of herringbone-tooled sandstone and features a grey pantiled roof with stone ridge, copings, and stacks. It has two storeys and seven bays. There is a first-floor band with quoins above, indicating two phases of rebuilding. The second and third bays from the right contain 6-panel double doors with 3-pane overlights and architraves. Similar architraves frame 12-pane sash windows with projecting cills. The building has corniced chimneys at the centre and left end.
The rear elevation also has seven bays, with alternating plain wall areas and three tall, wide buttresses. The fenestration is irregular, featuring 12-pane sashes (some of which have been replaced) within architraves. There is a half-glazed door with a 3-pane overlight in the third bay, also set in a similar architrave. Two 6-pane sashes are present at the ground floor on the left side. The walls show remains of a corbelled-out chimney and traces of older window surrounds.
