Earl's Garden, The Hall, Uyea

Dated 1818, with later 19th-century alterations, The Hall is a single-storey and attic, four-bay (grouped 2-2) symmetrical former laird's house, with a lower single-storey and attic service wing to the rear forming an approximate T-plan. The main house has harl-pointed rubble walls with droved sandstone ashlar dressings, topped with block finials to the gableheads.

The southwest (principal) elevation is symmetrical, featuring a five-pane fanlight above the entrance door at the centre. Regular fenestration is present at ground and first floor levels in the flanking and outer bays. Dormers break the eaves at the first floor, each with bracketed skewputts to the gabled stone dormerheads. The southeast gable is blank, while the northeast (rear) elevation has a window at ground level and a dormer mirroring the principal elevation at first floor to the right of centre. The service wing advances to the left, incorporating two windows in the northwest side, a blank gable to the northeast, and a gabled stone porch centred in the southeast side, complete with a block finial and a door in the north re-entrant angle. The northwest gable is blank.

The roof is covered in purple-grey slate, with droved sandstone ashlar skew copes to the principal range. The rear wing and porch have pegged stone slab slates with red ridge tiles, also harl-pointed and with rubble skew copes. A bottle-glass skylight is located in the porch. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes, incorporating hoppers between the bays of the principal elevation, are present. The main ridge has harl-pointed rubble ridge stacks with droved sandstone ashlar dressings flanking the centre, and a tall harled ridge stack is located on the rear wing; all are stone-coped with circular cans.

The interior is largely ruinous, with few original fittings surviving. A timber stair is located within an apsidal plaster well, and a stone fireplace lintel inscribed “Thomas Leisk 1818” is at the centre of the principal range.

An outbuilding, a two-chamber building with doors in each end gable and a rubble-walled run to the northeast side, is nearby. It has harl-pointed rubble walls and a purple-grey slate roof with ventilators.

A low concrete-coped harl-pointed rubble wall, semicircular in plan, sweeps up to meet the corners of the principal elevation. To the southeast of the house is a rectangular walled garden with a stone-slab-lintelled gateway in the northwest wall, fronted internally by a drystone-walled terrace. A simple rectangular drystone-walled enclosure, identified as an Earl's Garden, is also situated to the southeast of the house.
