Brampton Hall And Adjoining Barn

Brampton Hall is a house primarily from the 17th century, with some earlier stonework, and it has undergone later additions and alterations. The building features coursed, squared rubble with quoins at the north end and part of the west side, while the rest is made of sandstone blocks. It has a graduated stone flag roof with stone chimneys at both ends. The two-storey, six-bay garden front includes a gabled porch added to the right of the center, and the original doorway has a false four-centred head. Originally, there were three mullioned windows on the left and two on the right on each floor, with continuous hoodmoulds still visible; however, only one two-light window remains, blocked, in the second bay from the left on the first floor. The other windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements. The courtyard front also retains continuous hoodmoulds and a small, blocked fire window. A lean-to porch is situated at the angle between the house and the adjoining barn, into which the house has been extended from the west end of the barn, which was previously a byre. The barn dates from the late 18th to early 19th century and is constructed of coursed rubble beneath a graduated slate roof.
