Friars Hall

Friars Hall is a late 18th century, two-storey, three-bay Regency house featuring a piend roof and a bowed central projection to the south, along with later additions. The building is constructed of rubble with white harl and has ashlar dressings, with raised cills.

On the south elevation, which faces the garden, there is a shallow bow with a curving timber doorway at the ground level, flanked by sash windows. Above, there is a tripartite window and a cast-iron verandah, topped with a square cornice that has a central blocking panel. To the left of the ground floor, there is another tripartite window.

The north elevation features a slightly advanced pedimented bay with a Tuscan columned doorway at the ground level. To the west, there is a two-storey addition dating from around 1820, and to the east, a lower two-storey wing from the mid-20th century. There are also detached outbuildings with a curving wall to the east of the house.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The roof is covered in grey slate, and there are coped co-axial ridge stacks with octagonal clay cans, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a stone staircase with cast-iron balusters. The oval entrance hall has been reconfigured as a living room, featuring three doorways on the north curving wall. On the first floor, there is an oval room that includes a decorative timber and gesso chimney piece with fluted Corinthian column detail.
