Description

Old Hall, Attached Wall and Doorway is a Grade II* listed manor house located on School Lane in Beeley. It dates from the early 17th century, with later additions from the late 17th century and the 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and quoins, topped with a stone slate roof featuring coped gables. It has external gable stacks as well as ridge and gable stacks. The structure stands two to three storeys high, with the south elevation comprising five bays.

The tall three-storey section on the right features a three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould, alongside a tall three-light casement window to the left. Above, there are two four-light recessed and chamfered mullioned and transomed windows, followed by another two similar windows. To the left, there is a two-storey gabled porch bay with a flight of eight stone steps leading up to a doorway that has a chamfered surround made of massive quoins and a lintel, with a plank door behind it. Above this doorway, there is a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion and transomed window.

A single-storey wing to the left includes a three-light chamfered mullion window and a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. The east elevation features a large external stack with quoins, along with a high-set two-light and a single-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. The rear elevation has a doorway with stone lintel and jambs, leading to a panelled door. To the right, there is a three-light 20th-century casement window, and to the left, a five-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, with two similar three-light windows above and two smaller three-light windows above those.

The building has irregular ranges to the right that include casements, mullioned windows, and a glazing bar sash. An attached drystone garden wall runs along the east, turning south and west along the road. There is a gateway to the south featuring a moulded lintel and quoins, with steeply chamfered copings that step up over the gateway.

Inside, there is a closed string staircase with heavy turned balusters and turned finials. A room in the west wing has panelling dating from around 1700 and a moulded stone hearth. The upper rooms feature panelled partitions.
