Description
Flanders Hall is a country house dating to 1779, with later alterations. It was likely built for William Purchas of Burton Hall. The house is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and has stone slate roofs. It has a T-shaped plan, with a double-depth plan to the service range forming the stem of the ‘T’.
The east front, the main range, has five bays with raised quoins. The central entrance has a part-glazed four-panel door above a sandstone architrave, which features a pulvinated frieze and a modillioned pediment. Sash windows are set within architraves. A lead rainwater pipe with the inscription “WP 1779” is located at the right end, along with a lead gutter. The roof has shaped kneelers and ashlar copings. The end stacks are corniced; the one on the left has been rendered.
The south front, of the rear range, has three bays, again with raised quoins. The central door is part-glazed with six panels, above an overlight within an architrave featuring a pulvinated frieze and cornice. Sash windows are in architraves. The roof has a shaped kneeler and ashlar coping on the left. There are corniced ashlar end stacks: one to the left end and another, between the rear range and the main range, with octagonal pots constructed of vermiculated ashlar.
