Bryn Hall

The house is built of roughly coursed local rubble, with a slate roof. Three storeys and cellar, the main early C19 front is of 3 bays with a central 6 fielded panelled door and 7-pane overlight, and to either side, full height glazed French windows, opening inwards, probably of early C20 date. On the first floor 12-pane sash windows, and the second floor with 9-pane single-hung sashes directly below the boxed eaves. To the rear, a gabled wing. On the right of the front (E) elevation and set back, a service wing in line added or completely reworked in the early C20 by Sir John Bradford in an Edwardian style. This returns on the N as a kitchen wing enclosing a small open service yard serving the kitchen. Three 12-pane sash windows, probably early C19 at the rear of the yard, with a square oriel bay window above carried on cut timber corbel brackets, and above a shallow gable which extends to the rear. Extruded glazed corner to the return wing.

The front entrance leads across the end of a living hall to a cross passage containing the stair. To the right, a smaller parlour. The stair is a remarkably fine dog-leg stair, without newels, of c1700, with turned balusters on wreathed urns, elaborate tread brackets, and a wreathed handrail, scrolled at the foot. The stair, which is of oak and perhaps mahogany, rises through all three floors. At the foot it has a entrance feature of shallow keyed arches scrolled at the ends.
