Description

Wollaston Hall is a country house that has been converted into offices. It likely dates from the 17th century, with most of its structure completed in 1738 and some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, squared coursed and banded limestone, and ironstone, topped with a plain-tile roof added in the 20th century. Originally designed with a courtyard plan, it is now enclosed.

The house has two storeys with an attic. On the garden front, the first floor features a seven-window range of square casements with moulded stone architraves. The ground floor has French doors with similar stone surrounds and a cast-iron verandah above. A moulded stone cornice runs along the top, leading to a plain parapet and a hipped roof, which includes three dormers with pediments. Ashlar stacks are present at the ridge.

The entrance front, located to the left, mirrors the garden front with a six-window range, featuring a sash window on the ground floor. To the left of the centre, there is a part-glazed door with a moulded stone surround and a hood above. The gable on the far left is likely from the 17th century, made of banded limestone and ironstone, with an 18th-century oculus in the apex. The rear elevation to the left of the entrance front has 17th-century origins but was rendered and remodelled in the 19th century.

Inside, the entrance hall contains an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and quarter landings around an open well. There are reeded wood columns between the hall and the staircase well, and the staircase well features a moulded plaster ceiling. The cellar is said to have stone-mullioned windows.
