Description
The Hall is a house, largely dating from circa 1747, with earlier fragments, and further alterations in circa 1910 and 1931. It is constructed of rubble limestone and red brick with sandstone dressings, and has hipped slate roofs, gabled to the north. It features two brick ridge stacks, two gable end stacks, and a brick external stack. The building extends over three storeys plus a basement.
The south elevation is brick with stone dressings, set above a stone basement. The main block is of five bays, with the central bay projecting. Projecting quoins define the central and outer bays. A moulded stone eaves cornice runs along the top. The basement has four square-section flush mullion windows. The ground floor features a central doorway with a moulded stone surround, coving, and rusticated pilasters, topped with a cornice. The door is six-panelled, with the upper four panels raised and fielded, and it is set beneath a rectangular overlight with fanlight tracery. A curved flight of nine stone steps with wrought iron railings leads to the doorway. Flanking the doorway are two windows with segmental heads and moulded stone surrounds, fitted with 19th-century casements. Above, there are five similar, but smaller, windows. In the centre of the first floor is a window beneath a pediment. A central pedimented gable is flush with the main wall and slightly wider than the central bay.
A service wing extends to the west, consisting of three bays. The ground and first floors are from circa 1905, with three plain sash windows on the ground floor and segmental arched casement windows above. A top floor, added in 1931, has three windows with flat-headed stone lintels and sills. The east elevation has four bays, with windows similar to those on the south side; the windows to the two left-hand bays are blocked.
The north elevation is of rubble limestone with two low-pitched brick gables. The fenestration is irregular, including a tall, thin, glazing bar sash with a moulded stone surround. Above this is a glazing bar sash with a stone surround, the upper half of which represents the remaining section of a 17th-century two-light recessed chamfer mullion window. In the basement, within what are now internal walls, there are two 2-light recessed chamfer mullion windows, along with a chimney lintel inscribed with "TS 1792".
The interior is largely from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A late 18th-century chimneypiece is located in the dining room. The hall contains a very fine mid-18th-century chimneypiece and a good contemporary staircase.
