Low Hall

A house dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations and an extension. The house is rendered with a pantile roof and rebuilt brick stacks. It was originally a two-cell, central-entry plan with a rear service range added later. The front has a symmetrical design with three windows on each floor. A 20th-century part-glazed, gabled porch contains a four-panel door set within a stone doorway with a chamfered basket arch. The doorway has been updated with an open-pedimented surround on fluted pilasters, featuring ball mouldings instead of dentils. The windows are mostly 20th-century replacements, with one surviving 16-pane sash window on the rear first floor to the right. Inside, there is a closed string staircase with splat balusters. Numerous plank doors are hung with iron fittings in deeply splayed openings and retain timber bolts and lock boxes. A ground floor room to the left features a spine beam with an ovolo moulding. A carved spice cupboard door has been reused in a cupboard to the left of the window. A first floor room to the left has a fine early 19th-century fireplace with detached fluted Ionic columns and an entablature. In the attic, a 19th-century boxed bed remains at the head of the stairs, along with a firehood in the room to the left.
