Description
Baslow Hall is a small country house built in 1907, possibly designed by Weightman & Hadfield, in a 17th-century vernacular style. The building features coursed squared sandstone and ashlar, with a stone slate roof and coped gables that have plain kneelers. It has a ridge stack, two lateral stacks, and one stack rising from the pitch of the roof. Moulded bands run above and below the first-floor windows, and there is a moulded eaves cornice.
The house is two storeys tall and has a south elevation arranged in a half-H plan with projecting gabled wings. A flight of three semi-circular stone steps leads up to a projecting central doorway, which has a hollow moulded surround adorned with fleurons and a half-domed hood supported by moulded brackets. The doorway features a moulded keystone and a pair of panelled doors, flanked by 3-light mullioned and transomed windows.
On the first floor, there is a window with two tiers; the upper tier breaks through the eaves and is topped with a coped parapet. The lower tier consists of 3-2-3 lights, while the upper tier has 2-2-2 lights, with the centre two lights of both tiers being blind. The return walls have a single light transomed window at ground floor level. Each of the matching gabled wings features a mullioned and transomed window with 1-3-1 lights on both floors. The gables are decorated with sunk roundels bearing crests.
The side elevation includes a staircase window that consists of 4 lights with two transoms, with the lower transom interrupted across the centre two lights by a round arch. Inside, the hall is designed in a rich Jacobean style, featuring beams on moulded corbels, a four-centred arched chimneypiece, and a pair of tripartite screens with stained glass that have an 'art nouveau' appearance. The dining room showcases a Jacobean style plaster ceiling, while the drawing room has a more delicate plaster ceiling and an early 18th-century style chimneypiece. The staircase hall features a closed string staircase with heavy turned balusters.
