Description
Low Hall is a manor house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates from the 17th century and was remodeled in the 18th century, with further alterations and extensions made in the early 19th century. The building was re-roofed around 1975. It features dressed sandstone on a sandstone rubble plinth, with sandstone ashlar dressings, and roofs made of stone flags and pantiles.
The house has a central-stairhall plan and a five-bay front arranged in a 2:1:2 configuration. The center bay is two stories high and flanked by two-story and attic projecting cross wings that have quoins. The central bay is topped with a pediment and contains half-glazed double doors set in a triple-keyed Gibbs surround. Above the doors is a 16-pane sash window in a triple-keyed raised surround. The building has a broken moulded eaves cornice and a raking cornice at the pediment. Rainwater heads and drainpipes feature moulded clamps at the angles with the cross wings.
The cross wings have 24-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, and 6-pane sashes in the attic, all set in raised keyed surrounds. The gables are coped with kneelers, and there are stacks at the center of the cross wings, with the right stack being extruded and featuring offsets. The right return front has a ground-floor sash window in a quoined, keyed surround. At the rear, there is a Gothick-glazed staircase window in a round-arched surround with imposts. Two six-panel doors are located beneath flat arches made of chiselled voussoirs at the rear center of each cross wing.
Inside, there is an open-string, dog-leg staircase with a moulded, wreathed handrail and stick balusters, which are interspersed with 20th-century replacement wrought-iron balusters. The ceiling features a moulded cornice and a plaster moulded roundel at the center. A Gothick-glazed screen is situated at the foot of the stairs. The ground-floor room to the right may contain reused 17th-century square panelling with carved panels above the fireplace and has a cross-beamed ceiling. The ground-floor room to the left features raised and fielded dado panelling, a cross beam with guilloche moulding, and a dentilled cornice. The ground-floor room to the rear left has an early 19th-century cusped Gothick fireplace made of cast iron. Most doors throughout the house consist of six raised and fielded panels set in fluted architraves with paterae.
