Description
Marchwiel Hall is a classical building dating from the 18th century. It is two storeys high with painted scribed render elevations and a Welsh slate roof. The east elevation, which serves as the entrance front, features a central pediment flanked by two slightly projecting stacks. There is a string course at first floor height and an Ionic tetrastyle portico made of stone, which is now also painted. The ground floor has a central door and four symmetrically placed six-paned horned sash windows. The first floor has four similar windows, with a fifth window above the centre of the portico that has been blocked and rendered over. The ends of the elevation have applied pilasters with Corinthian capitals, and there is a single storey 20th-century extension to the north.
The south elevation, which is the main garden front, is also two storeys with attics behind a parapet, featuring painted scribed render and a string course at the first floor. It is eight bays wide, with the central four bays slightly recessed. The two wings are surmounted by pediments, each with a central circular window and decorative urns. The ground floor of the wings has tripartite windows with coupled pilasters. The central bays contain 18-pane sash windows set within eared architrave surrounds, along with a central doorway that has a similar surround, a 20th-century French door, and a fanlight. The first windows are all from the 20th century, and the wings have applied pilasters with Corinthian capitals at the corners.
The east elevation has two storeys with attic space to the left under a pediment and is finished in painted scribed render. It consists of five bays, with the ground floor featuring an open colonnade formed by three Doric columns. To the left, there is a tripartite window similar to those on the south elevation. The interior was not accessible during the 1996 survey.
