Description

Bay Hall is a house and flats dated 1849 and 1860, likely designed by Websters of Kendal. The building features roughcast walls with painted stone and limestone ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs. The east facade has two storeys and an attic above a basement. The entrance facade on the west side is built against a hillside, with entrances from the road at both ground and first floor levels.

Two gables face the road to the west. The right gable has a tall stair window with a painted stone surround, a round arch, and a keystone, featuring margin panes and roundels, as well as etched and coloured glass. To the left at first-floor level is a small window with a painted surround, and at ground-floor level is a door with plain reveals. Below the projecting eaves verges is a roundel inscribed 'RWE 1849'. At the apex, a chimney has a limestone cap with two terracotta pots shaped like Greek Doric columns.

Below the left gable is a plaque dated '1860' and an 8-pane sash window at first-floor level with a limestone ashlar surround. To the right, between the gables, there is a similar window with a 20th-century flat-roofed attic extension above. The left return wall has an entrance at first-floor level. The east gable of the 1849 wing features canted bay windows on both the ground and first floors, with the ground-floor bay having French windows and a slated verandah, while the first-floor bay has glazing bar sashes.

Historically, Black Rock Villa, located next to the Commodore Hotel to the south of Bay Hall, was built by George Webster in 1841. Although it has been significantly altered and is not listed, it features a roundel inscribed 'GWE 1841', similar to the one found at Bay Hall.
