Offerton Hall

Offerton Hall is a small manor house dated 1658, though it has a 16th-century core and underwent further alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of ashlar and coursed rubble gritstone, featuring quoins, coped gables, and moulded kneelers. It has intermediate ridge stacks made of ashlar and brick, with the stack on the main range topped by a moulded cap, and a stone slated roof.

The house originally had a baffle entry plan, with advanced wings at either end of a central range and a gabled stair tower on the rear elevation. The southeast elevation has two storeys and attics, consisting of four bays with 2 and 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned windows, mostly fitted with 20th-century leaded casements. The ground floor window openings have been enlarged, and the window in the northeast wing has been replaced with a larger 20th-century casement. The windows in the advanced wings are beneath hoodmoulds with stops, while those in the central range are below continuous dripmoulds. A gabled 2-light attic dormer is present in the central range.

There is a two-storey lean-to porch at the angle of the main range and the southwest wing, featuring a quoined doorway beneath a hoodmould with stops, and a datestone inscribed "MG" above, marking the major 17th-century remodelling of the house in 1658. Above the porch doorway is a 2-light mullioned window with pointed lights carved from a single block. The two-and-a-half storey stair tower on the rear elevation has 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned windows with pointed arched heads on the lower landing, and a 2-light mullioned window beneath a hoodmould with stops. A small arrowslit opening is located at the angle of the tower and the main range at the northeast end.

Inside, there is a moulded hearth beam and a heck post with a beam soffit shaped to the door head at the ground floor in the southwest end. The ground floor features massive chamfered spine beams with ovolo moulding, a large central hearth with an arched head, and a substantial stone baffle. Additionally, there is a good 17th-century hearth in the parlour at the northeast end.
