Description

Corsbie Hall House is a mid-19th century villa that was significantly altered and enlarged in the late 19th century, with additions dating to around 1910. The building is a combination of single and two-storey sections with a three-storey tower, forming an L-shaped arrangement that originally served as a hospital. The exterior is finished with harl (rough cast) rendering, featuring brick quoins. A string course and blocking course are visible on the tower. The façade incorporates a pedimented doorway, architraved window surrounds, and stone mullions.

The south elevation, which serves as the main entrance, displays four recessed bays indicative of the earlier villa. These are located to the right of the central portion of the building. A panelled timber door with a three-part fanlight sits within an architraved doorway surmounted by a segmental pediment; a small window is situated above this at the first floor, beneath deeply overhanging eaves. Flanking these bays are finialled, gabled sections with slate-roofed canted windows at ground level and corniced, architraved windows above. A single-storey, piend-roofed bay, set slightly forward and featuring canted corners, extends to the outer right. To the left of centre are three advanced bays, with three windows on each floor of the central bay. The rightmost gabled bay incorporates a canted window below an architraved, pedimented window, while the left gabled bay has a window on each floor. A projecting chimney breast with a wallhead stack is situated to the return on the right, with a window on each floor beyond. An engaged tower joins the main sections at a re-entrant angle.

The east elevation has eight bays and an asymmetrical window arrangement, including a window positioned alongside a chimney breast in the gablehead. An advanced, piended, single-storey bay with two windows is situated to the outer left, and a boarded timber door is located to the outer right.

The north elevation features a projecting wing with asymmetrical fenestration to the left of centre, and a five-bay wing with regular window placement, with a gabled outer bay, to the right of centre. The engaged tower, integrated at the re-entrant angle, displays a variety of features including windows facing north, south and west at the second floor. It also has a stepped blocking course, a finialled caphouse roof, and a battered stack towards the east.

The west elevation has a door at both ground and first floor levels, with a modern fire escape visible.

The windows are largely timber sash and case windows with six-pane upper sashes over plate glass lower sashes, though some first-floor windows in the north-east wing have modern glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates. Brick stacks have cavetto coped details and decorative cans; ashlar-coped skewbacks and skewputts are present, alongside terracotta ridge tiles, overhanging eaves, and cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers.

Inside, the building features a part-glazed screen door leading to an inner hall. A Jacobean-style carved fireplace with ebony inlay and a dog-leg staircase with timber balusters are notable features. Plain cornicing is present, alongside more elaborate cornicing incorporated into a bar within a west-facing room.

The property is enclosed by cavetto-coped brick gatepiers and saddleback-coped brick boundary walls, with decorative cast-iron railings set into the walls.
