Description

Sebergham Hall is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed from pink and calciferous sandstone ashlar. It features an eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of graduated greenslate with coped gables and kneelers, and there are ashlar chimney stacks. An extension made of hammer-dressed sandstone also has a graduated greenslate roof and a square ashlar chimney stack. The building is two storeys high with five bays, and to the right is a lower two-storey, three-bay extension.

The entrance has panelled double doors framed by a bolection architrave and a carved leaf frieze beneath a console bracketed broken segmental pediment. The windows are sash types with glazing bars set in stone architraves. The ground floor windows are topped by alternating triangular and segmental broken pediments, while the central upper floor window features a carved frieze and console brackets. There is a blocked entrance to the extension, which is now a casement window, that has a dated and inscribed lintel reading TS 1766. The right side has two- and three-light casement windows, as well as sash windows with glazing bars, all within stone architraves.

At the rear, the entrance to the extension has a dated and inscribed lintel reading R & R.S. 1737, with an unifying extension dated and inscribed over a window as H.J.S. 1964. The rear also features two-light stone-mullioned windows from the 18th and 20th centuries. Inside, there are panelled shutters for each window and a late 17th-century oak staircase with twisted balusters and a heavily moulded handrail. The hall was home to the Simpson family until 1780 and was reacquired by the current owner, Hugh John Simpson, in 1946.
