Description
The Former Halse Manor Hospital is a country house that was used as a hospital at the time of listing. It dates from the 17th century, was enlarged in the mid-18th century, and underwent remodeling in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. The building is constructed of red sandstone random rubble, featuring quoin strips that distinguish the central bay from the outer bays and the extension to the left. A dentil-moulded cornice creates a shallow pediment over the central bay, and the slate roof has coped verges, with the roof of the left-hand bay concealed behind a parapet and brick stacks on either side.
The main facade faces east and includes a one-bay extension at the south end, which is part of the "U"-shaped south facade that marks the site of the original house. The structure is two stories tall and has six bays, with sash windows, rusticated voussoirs, two round-headed dormers, and a lunette window in the pediment. The first-floor window below has shouldered surrounds, while the ground floor features a central doorway flanked by canted bay windows with sandstone plinths and dentil mouldings. The gabled porch has console brackets at the angles and pilasters, and it contains 19th-century double doors with marginal glazing bars and partly colored glass, approached by a flight of five steps.
