Description

East Hall is a house dating to 1713, built for Leonard Hartley. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof. The house comprises two storeys and attics, with seven bays, and includes a rear outshut and a rear wing to the left. Quoins are present. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within ashlar surrounds. A central canted bay with a flat roof has replaced the original doorway. Dormer windows are located in the second and fourth bays. The building features shaped kneelers with volutes, ashlar copings, rendered brick corniced stacks at the ends, and a double stack between the fourth and fifth bays. A 20th-century single-storey addition is situated to the right. The rear elevation displays chamfered cross windows, some of which illuminate the staircase. A later brick service range to the left is not considered to be of particular interest. A 20th-century single-storey porch has been added to the left return, providing entry to the house from the front. A left-hand wing with a "M" roof is also present. A rainwater head is cast with the legend "LH 1713". The right return features two bays, with first-floor and attic windows in ashlar architraves.

The interior ground-floor rooms contain shutters with fielded panels. The sitting room on the left has a deep cross-beam with moulded cornices. The former entrance hall centrally possesses a fanlight with delicate decorative glazing bars. The dining room on the right features a deep cornice. In the rear wing, an open-well staircase connects the ground and first floors. This staircase has a curving handrail, barleysugar balusters, and a hemispherical plaster dome above, incorporating two large shell motifs and small cherubs’ heads. On the first floor, at the top of the stairs, paired doorways are separated by a fluted Tuscan pilaster and feature doors with six fielded panels arranged unconventionally. A bedroom to the rear left includes a corner fireplace with an overmantel panel. The front left bedroom showcases deeply-moulded architraves with tiny keystones to the doors to the landing and the connecting door to the rear left bedroom, a simple fireplace, and ceiling beams dividing the space into four sections, each with a circular panel containing a rose of acanthus leaves. The second left bedroom also has a simple fireplace and corniced cross-beams with elliptical panels. A small dressing room includes fielded-panel cupboard doors. The front right bedroom contains doors and casings with eight fielded panels, a simple fireplace with an overmantel panel, and fielded panelling with a chair rail. The rear right bedroom incorporates a corner fireplace with an overmantel panel. The staircase between the first and second floors features splat balusters. Some attic rooms have heating. Marmaduke Hartley purchased the property in 1697; his son, Leonard Hartley (1689-1774), rebuilt the house and prospered through enclosure and copper-mining activities. Two "flower tubs" outside the house are sumpter pots used for collecting molten copper from the furnace.
