The Hall

The Hall is a house built in the early to mid-19th century, located on the north side of Village Street in Newton-le-Willows. It features roughcast walls with sandstone ashlar dressings and Westmorland slate roofs. The building has a deep two-storey main range with a lower service range attached at the rear.

The south front has two bays. At ground level on the left, there is a part-glazed four-panel door with an overlight featuring cast-iron decorative tracery, framed by a Roman Doric doorcase with engaged columns supporting a frieze and cornice. To the right, there is a square single-storey bay with paired 15-pane sash windows set in an ashlar surround with a flat-faced mullion. On the first floor, there are 9-pane unequally-hung sash windows with ashlar sills, a moulded cornice, and a parapet above. The roof is hipped, with a central ashlar stack.

The right return of the building has two sections with an ashlar plinth and quoin strips. The main range on the left features tripartite sash windows in quoined surrounds at ground level, and 9-pane unequally-hung sash windows in ashlar surrounds on the first floor, along with a moulded cornice and parapet. The service range, set back on the right, also has an ashlar plinth and quoin strips. The left bay is masked by a projecting single-storey bay with a 20-pane sash window and a parapet adorned with urns. To the right are two sash windows with glazing bars in architraves, and on the first floor, there are 9-pane unequally-hung sash windows in architraves. The ends have ashlar stacks.

The left return features a four-bay service range that projects from the main range, with a pent-roofed single-storey bay in the angle, and above it, a lead rainwater head and part of a pipe.

Inside, period features remain intact except for the fireplaces and the main staircase. The doors are made of six reeded panels, and there are cornices and central circular ceiling panels with sunflower motifs. Window shutters are also present. In two main rooms, both halves of the sash windows can be pushed up into the wall cavity to provide access to the garden. The staircase in the service range has stick balusters.
