Meynell Hall

Meynell Hall is a superior farmhouse, dating to the early 17th century, with alterations. It is constructed of roughly herringbone-tooled sandstone, with one wing pebbledashed. The roof is pantiled, with brick stacks. The front of the house has two storeys and three bays, appearing tall and irregular. A chamfered plinth is visible. A half-glazed door sits under a wooden lintel to the right of centre, with a 18th-century sash window above it, the original bars now lost. The right bay is blank. On the ground floor, the left side has a 4-pane sash window installed in the early 20th century, beneath a damaged hoodmould. Above this is a blocked 2-light stone-mullioned window and a 18th-century sash window, also missing its bars, at the far left. Remains of blocked mullioned windows are visible above these. At ground floor level on the left is a blocked chamfered opening. The eaves are sprocketed. The right return of the building features 6-light chamfered mullioned windows, likely replacements from the early 20th century, on both floors, with two 2-light windows in the attic (one mullion is missing). The left return shows other blocked mullioned windows, and a 1-storey and attic wing with a Yorkshire sash window and a modern brick dormer. The rear elevation has a chamfered doorway, featuring two blank shields in the lintel, and remnants of several mullioned windows. The top courses of stonework on this elevation have been replaced.

The interior has undergone several phases of alteration, but original features remain, including an original firebeam in the forehouse and a 17th-century cupboard. A staircase from the early to mid-18th century has turned balusters with square knops, a splat newel, and a ramped handrail extending to the attic. One room has an 18th-century chimney-piece with an eared architectrave, an overmantel, and a 6-panelled side cupboard with shaped shelves. Other notable features include good cupboards, 18th-century plaster cornices, and 6-panel doors throughout the house.
