East Carlton Hall

East Carlton Hall is a country house built around 1870 by E.F. Law for the Palmer family. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a Swithland slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan in the French Chateau style and stands two to three storeys high, with some parts having an attic.

The main front has a nine-window range and includes a central porch supported by two pairs and two single columns. This porch features a plain entablature, a dentilled cornice, and an open balustrade above. To the left of the porch, there is a panelled door with a moulded stone architrave. The central five bays have sash windows with moulded stone architraves, topped with alternate triangular and segmental bracketted pediments. The attic storey has similar windows set in eaves dormers with pediments, linked by an open balustrade. The central dormer features an arched pediment with a finial.

The end bays form three-storey corner towers, each with two-storey canted stone bay windows and pairs of sash windows on the second floor. The building is adorned with ashlar quoins and dentilled cornices, and square pinnacles with urns sit at the corners of the towers, connected to the central eaves dormers by an open balustrade. The central range has a gambrel roof, while the towers have mansard roofs topped with cast iron railings and finials. Panelled brick stacks with ashlar cornices are positioned at the ridge.

The left elevation mirrors the main front with a five-window range, while the end two bays form corner towers with squared bay windows at the ground floor. The rear elevation resembles the main front but lacks the porch. The right elevation is similar to the main front, featuring a three-window range.

Inside, the double-height entrance hall boasts a grand staircase that divides into two flights at the base and half landing. The flanking walls consist of four bays with pilasters, separated by a moulded cornice, and the ceiling is decorated with moulded plaster. Two rooms to the left and one to the right of the entrance hall feature similar plaster decoration. There are some 19th-century fireplaces in the principal rooms, along with two 19th-century service staircases with turned balusters. Fragments of an 18th-century house may be incorporated into the structure.
