Description
Coleby Hall, formerly known as Bowbridge Hall, is a manor house dated 1655, built for John Colby. The building features roughcast rubble and a stone slate roof, designed in an E-plan layout. It stands two storeys high with attics in bays 1, 3, and 5, and consists of five bays, with the first, third, and fifth bays gabled and projecting.
The central tower porch has a round-arched ashlar doorway adorned with moulded capitals, an ogee-chamfered arris, and a hood-mould. Above the doorway is a square plaque with a weathered raised inscription reading "1655". Inside the porch, there are stone benches, and a studded board door leads to an inner square-headed doorway, which also features a hood-mould and decorative moulding. To the right of bay 5, there is a board door set in a chamfered ashlar surround.
The windows throughout the building are double-chamfered mullion and transom style, consistent on every floor of each bay. The first bay has a 4-light window with a hood-mould, the second bay has a 2-light window with dripstones, the porch has a 3-light window with a hood-mould, the fourth bay features a 4-light window with extended dripstones, and the fifth bay has a 4-light window. Large external end stacks are present, with a shafted corniced stack situated between bays 4 and 5.
On the left return, there is a 3-light double-chamfered mullion window on the ground floor and a 4-light double-chamfered mullion window with ogee-moulding on the inner chamfer on the first floor.
Inside, the porch leads to a hall that has been divided. It features a chamfered fireplace with a pointed arch made of fine ashlar voussoirs, marked by masons' marks. The parlour to the right contains a fireplace with a pointed flat arch of ashlar voussoirs. A stone newel staircase is located at the rear of the hall. On the first floor, there are sections of plasterwork frieze decorated with fleurs-de-lis, along with a straight-headed chamfered fireplace. The roof is supported by collared-rafter trusses.
