Pictor Hall

Pictor Hall is a house built in the late 18th century, with additions and alterations from the mid-19th century, while also incorporating remnants from the 17th century. The building is constructed of roughcast rubble limestone and ashlar gritstone, featuring quoins and coped gables. It has intermediate and end ashlar ridge stacks, each with diagonally set twin chimneys, and a stone slated roof. The plan is irregular and double-piled, with a pediment at the center of the main range and a canted two-storey bay added to the southwest end, which has a hipped roof.

The house has two storeys and five bays, with the canted bay rising above the main range. The main range features glazing bar sashes in flush stone frames, particularly in the two central bays beneath the pediment. There is a quoined doorway to the southwest of the pediment, topped with a shallow bracketed canopy. The canted bay has tall glazing bar sashes on projecting cill bands on both floors. A roll moulding serves as a stringcourse above the lintels of the ground floor openings, and there is a projecting bandcourse above the first floor window heads. The eaves of the hipped roof are bracketed and project outward.

Inside, there is a 4-light 17th-century hollow chamfered mullioned window in the spine wall of the double pile range, along with a good 19th-century turned baluster staircase and shutters in the reveals of the sash windows.
