Description

Ness Hall is a hall built in the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of squared limestone and has a pantile roof with brick stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, featuring later extensions at the rear.

The front elevation is two stories high and has five windows, with flush quoins. A modern glazed door is located at the center right, set within a plain doorcase that has an inscribed lintel reading: "Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: Beatus es et bene tibi Erit Psal: 127." The porch has been rebuilt with square-section columns and an entablature.

On the ground floor, the windows are 16-pane sashes with tooled lintels, positioned to the left of the door and at the far left. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, also with similar lintels. The building features a stepped eaves course, coped gables, and shaped kneelers, some of which have been renewed. There are stacks at the ends and left of the center.

On the left return, tie rod ends form the initials T and K. The right return is two stories high with three windows. It has an inserted 6-pane sash in the center of the ground floor, along with a small-pane staircase window above, which has a keyed flat arch. The remaining windows on this side are 12-pane sashes, with keyed flat arches at the right end and tooled lintels at the left end. There are also modern flat-topped dormers, a coped gable, and a renewed kneeler at the right end.
