Description
Low Hall is a house dated 1849, with a street frontage dating from the early to mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with quoins on the corners.
The south facade, which faces the rear, has a central half-glazed four-panel door set in a pilastered doorcase, topped with a plain lintel and cornice. Above the door is a stone plaque with the date "T. 1849.I" in relief. Flanking the door are sash windows with glazing bars, which have plain stone surrounds and sills supported by moulded brackets. The facade also features paired stone gutter brackets, shaped kneelers, gable coping, and corniced stacks on the left gable and between the second and third bays, as well as a banded stack on the right gable.
The street facade has patchy rendering and includes a tall central stair window with six fixed panes above a transom, and a sash window with glazing bars below. There are similar sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor to the left and right, all set within architraves. A 20th-century window in a similar architrave is located on the ground floor to the left. On the right side of the ground floor, there are two-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows. The architrave of the first-floor right-hand window extends around to the left return of the house, indicating a window that was set around the corner. The architraves show remnants of transoms. The eaves are raised and have similar detailing to the south front, with an ashlar corniced stack at the eaves to the left of center.
On the right return, there is a doorway to the right of center and a blocked round-headed window on the ground floor to the left.
Inside, the side entrance leads into a lobby that opens into the north room, which was formerly a kitchen. This room features a large fireplace with a hollow moulded cornice and a chamfered cross beam, as well as the site of a well. The next room is a former dairy with stone shelves, although these were not seen during the resurvey. The south rooms on the ground floor have high ceilings typical of their mid-19th century date, and there is a central entrance hall with a plain staircase.
