Description
Spratton Hall School is a country house that has been converted into a school, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a graded slate roof and features a double depth plan. The building is three stories high and has a five-window range. A central 19th-century porch with pilasters and a moulded stone cornice adds to its architectural appeal. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, decrease in size at the second floor level and are set under flat stone arches with keystones. There is a string course between the ground and first floors, a moulded stone cornice, and ashlar gable parapets with kneelers, along with brick and stone stacks at the ridge and ends. To the left, there is a tall 19th-century brick extension, while a single-storey 19th-century extension is to the right, with a 20th-century extension above it. The rear of the building is similar, also featuring a 20th-century extension.
Inside, there is a fine 18th-century staircase with quarter landings and three balusters per tread, which rises from the central entrance hall. This hall has a glazed arched screen and an Adam style fireplace from the late 18th and 19th centuries in the ground floor room at the rear, as well as to the left and right of the staircase in the entrance hall. A 19th-century fireplace in the center room on the first floor has cast iron folding shutters across the fire basket.
