Description

High Hall is a house built between 1784 and 1786, with later alterations, for Thomas Candler. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond on a stone plinth, topped with a clay pantile roof and slate roofs on the stable wings. The house features a central staircase and has a double-depth plan, with stable wings on either side.

The garden front is two stories high and has a symmetrical three-window layout. A central six-panel door is set beneath a radial fanlight and is framed by a pedimented doorcase supported by brackets and panelled jambs, with three-window bows on either side. The first-floor windows are 16-pane sashes with stone sills and flat arches made of gauged brick, while there is a coved timber eaves course.

The street front is two stories with an attic and has a four-window layout, flanked by one-story projecting stable wings. There is a 20th-century weatherboarded gabled porch to the right of the center, and a segmental coach arch to the right, which connects to the stable block. The former traphouse on the left has 20th-century double garage doors with a lifting door above. A 20th-century attic dormer is also present. The ground floor windows have segmental brick arches, while the first-floor windows feature wedge lintels of gauged brick. The roof has coped gables, plain kneelers, and end stacks on both ranges.

Inside, the ground floor rooms in the front range retain bay window panelling along with six-panel doors and architraves. The rear ground floor rooms contain 18th-century doors with H-L hinges. In the attic, there are 18th-century fireplaces in the rear range and a box bed in the front room on the left.
