Description

Lannhall is a late 18th century small mansion that is symmetrically planned. It has two storeys above a raised basement and features three bays. There are single storey flanking wings that are recessed from the main north front, with lower flat-roofed square bays in the re-entrant angles. The exterior is finished with painted harl, dressings, and rusticated quoins.

On the north elevation, there is a central doorpiece with Roman Doric columns, which is accessed by a small polished ashlar perron. The steps oversail the basement area and are surrounded by cast-iron railings. A band course runs over the basement, and above it are plate glass sashes. The building has an eaves course and cornice, along with a late 19th or early 20th century pedimented tripartite dormer, which is similar to the dormers on the flanking wings. The chimney stacks are symmetrically placed and corniced, and the roof has a steep pitch with piended and platform sections. There is a basement door and ground floor window in the flanking square bays, which also have piended roofs and are set behind cast-iron railings.

Inside, the mansion features some decorative ceiling plasterwork and panelled doors within architraves. Lannhall forms part of the north wall of a rectangular-plan walled garden enclosure that dates back to 1807 and is built of rubble.
