Kilburn Hall

Kilburn Hall is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with a significant wing added in the 18th century, and further alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The earlier part of the house is constructed of coursed squared herringbone-tooled stone, partly rendered, while the later wing is also stone, but partly rendered. Both sections have pantile roofs. The house is in an L-shape, with the gable end of the older range facing the road, and the 18th-century wing set back to the left.

The south front (the older range) is mostly rendered with quoins on the left. It has a plinth and a central 6-panel door. Double-chamfered mullion windows are a feature: to the left of the door is a cross window with the remains of an iron tie-rod, and on the right is a wider opening, originally containing a paired cross window. Both have hoodmoulds. A single transomed light is located to the far right, and a blocked transomed light is above the door, flanked by two blocked cross windows on the first floor. The eaves have a timber plate supporting cross-timbers with brick infill, another plate above supporting rafters, shaped kneelers (one replaced), and renewed ashlar coping on the left. A renewed brick ridge stack is centrally positioned. The left (west) gable of this range is rendered, featuring a restored 3-light transomed window with a hoodmould and a coat of arms above the ground floor, and blocked windows on the upper floors. The rear (north) side of this range has the two right bays set back and rendered, with blocked windows on each floor, the ground floor window under a hoodmould. A blocked, transomed, single light is on the first floor to the left.

The west side of the 18th-century wing has four bays. The three left bays have a plinth, a central 6-panel door in a rusticated surround, flanked by unequally-hung 12-pane sash windows with projecting sills and stone lintels on the ground floor, with matching windows above (without lintels). The fourth bay is distinguished by a 17th-century studded boarded and panelled round-arched door set within an architrave, with rusticated arch, decorative keystone, and cornice. Above this door is a 2-light 12-pane side-sliding sash window that breaks the eaves. The rear (east) side of this wing includes a board door in a quoined surround with a massive chevron-tooled lintel and a small window in a plain stone surround to its left. To the right of a truncated external stack are single-light double-chamfered blocked windows, with one broken to incorporate a later 2-light 16-pane side-sliding sash. Two iron tie-rods are visible at ground-floor lintel level, and above the left-hand door is a blocked window incorporating a piece of reused hoodmould as a sill, with similar sills to other first-floor windows. An eaves band is also present.

The interior, which was not inspected, is noted in a previous listing description to include two good 17th-century panelled rooms on the first floor of the south range and moulded ceiling beams on the ground floor of the later wing.
