Description

The Hall, formerly known as Longstone Hall, is a small country house dating from the 17th century and 1747. It is constructed of rubble limestone with gritstone dressings in the earlier section and rubble limestone and brick with gritstone dressings in the later section. The earlier part features a stone slate roof, while the later part has a roof hidden behind parapets. The earlier section has coped gables with moulded kneelers and a ball finial, along with stone stacks. The building stands two to three storeys high and includes angle quoins.

On the south elevation, the lower 17th-century wing to the left has a three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on the ground floor, and a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a transom and major mullion on the first floor, creating the appearance of two cross windows. A moulded dripmould is present above. This section was significantly restored in 1929. To the right, there is a three-bay brick elevation with quoins, a cornice, and a coped parapet with ball finials. The central doorway features a moulded architrave and rusticated pilasters, with a 20th-century half-glazed door. On either side of the doorway are glazing bar sashes in stone surrounds with square bead moulding. Above, there are three similar windows, and three smaller windows above those.

The east elevation includes a central doorway with a stone surround, flanked by glazing bar sashes. Above, there are three glazing bar sashes, with the central one being larger and featuring a moulded architrave and keystone. There are three smaller glazing bar sashes above again, and the elevation is topped with a coped parapet. A projecting service wing extends to the north. The restoration in 1929 was carried out by Sir Hubert Worthington.
