Kirby Hall

Kirby Hall is a service wing of a country house, now functioning as a house itself. It was built around 1755 and altered around 1920 when the original house was demolished. The building was designed by Lord Burlington and Roger Morris for Stephen Thompson, with John Carr serving as the Clerk of Works. It features a limestone ashlar exterior on a plinth, with the left return rendered, and a sandstone doorcase. The roof is slate-covered.

The structure is two stories high with an attic and has a two-window front, alongside a one-storey, four-bay range set back on the right. The entrance is located on the left return. All windows are sash style with stone sills; the ground and attic floor windows have six panes, while those on the first floor have twelve panes. Each window has plain flush lintels. There are raised bands at the first floor and attic levels, along with a moulded eaves cornice. The hipped roof has four stacks with heavily corbelled cornices, two on the ridge and one on each side of the roof hip.

On the left return, a door and doorcase from the original house have been inserted to create a new entrance. This doorcase features a moulded surround beneath a scrolled-console cornice hood and contains a half-glazed door. The rear of the building mirrors the front and includes nine-pane sashes on the ground floor. The one-storey range at the rear has two board doors on the left, a half-glazed door, and a small sash window on the right, with a moulded eaves cornice beneath a plain parapet.

Originally part of the Hall, this house is the only remaining section of the significant country house depicted in Vitruvius Brittanicus, Volume V, plates 70 and 71.
