Description
Wigton Hall is an early 19th-century house built for the Matthews family, featuring their coat of arms above the entrance. The building is constructed from snecked calciferous sandstone ashlar and has a modillioned cornice and a battlemented parapet set on a chamfered plinth. It has a graduated greenslate roof with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and consists of eight bays in the Gothic revival style, with wings that create an overall U-shape.
The two-storey gabled porch has oak doors with tracery panels set in a pointed moulded arch beneath a hood mould. The gabled parapet includes quatrefoil openings. Sash windows are present in chamfered surrounds under hood moulds. The right wing has similar architectural details but is made of red sandstone.
The left wing is part of an earlier house from 1801, featuring incised stucco beneath a hipped greenslate roof. It has sash windows with glazing bars on the upper floor, all framed in painted stone surrounds. Additional extensions with 20th-century bay windows and adjoining outbuildings are not of interest, as is the adjoining brick barn and 20th-century porch.
