Description
Harpole Hall is an early 19th-century country house located on Glassthorpe Lane in Harpole. The building is made of painted brick with a concealed roof and white brick internal stacks. It has a double-depth plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The central entrance features double-leaf part-glazed doors with an over-light, surrounded by a moulded rendered porch that includes square corner piers and inner Greek Doric columns. The house has 12-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors, each with moulded rendered surrounds. The central door and the first-floor windows have shallow straight hoods supported by console brackets. Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, a storey band, and a moulded rendered cornice. The porch is accessed via two stone steps, and the bays on either side of the central entrance project slightly forward.
Inside, the hall is stone-paved and features an open-well staircase with carved tread ends, stick balusters, and a ramped and wreathed mahogany handrail. The drawing room is adorned with moulded plasterwork cornice and a statuary marble chimneypiece, while the dining room has a plasterwork frieze and cornice along with a grey marble chimneypiece. The property also includes brick-vaulted cellars.
