Castern Hall

House, remodelled circa 1740 but incorporating earlier fabric. It is constructed of coursed rubble with rusticated ashlar quoins and ashlar dressings, topped by a hipped slate roof with ashlar integral ridge stacks and a lateral external stack. The house is three stories high, with a two-bay, one-bay, two-bay arrangement of windows. A slightly projecting central bay features rusticated ashlar quoins on its ground storey. Glazing bar sashes are set in raised surrounds; the central first-floor window has a triangular pediment, and the central second-floor window a raised keystone, panelled surround, and bracketed sill. A central double-leaved panelled door is flanked by Doric pilasters, with an oblong overlight and moulded hood cornice. A moulded eaves course runs around the building, with iron bracketed gutters.

The rear elevation features a projecting wing to the left with a hipped roof and a main range to the right. The wing has two windows, with glazing bar sashes in raised surrounds; those on the ground floor have small horns, and a stack is located on the left-hand side. The main range has a tall round-headed stair-window to the left with a raised keystone. A two-light window with a central plain mullion and glazing bar sashes with horns is located on the second floor to the left. A tall, central, basket-arched recess features a grotesque mask to the keystone, framing a two-light window with a central plain mullion and glazing bar sashes. To the right of the arch are blocked windows on both the first and second floors. An extension projects from the right-hand corner of the main range, with a catslide roof sloping to the right and an integral end stack.

Inside, the Entrance Hall contains a carved limestone fireplace with baroque scrolled decoration above the mantlepiece. A wide, open arch, supported by console brackets, leads to an early 18th-century open-well staircase with wall panelling, turned balusters, shaped tread ends, and a handrail that terminates in a wreath. The Study, formerly the parlour, includes a stone fireplace with a projecting keystone interrupting a double ogee arched head, with similar fireplaces in two of the bedrooms. There is 17th-century floor-to-ceiling oak panelling, likely taken from an earlier house, and a segmental-headed alcove fitted with shelves. The Drawing Room, originally two rooms, features early 18th-century bolection panelling.

Castern Hall was likely rebuilt for Nicholas Hurt around 1740; possible architects include the Smiths of Warwick or local master mason Richard Trubshawe of Haywood in Staffordshire.
