Description

Cornish Hall is an early 17th-century U-shaped house, although it has undergone significant remodelling in the 20th century. The front elevation features projecting gable wings, with three smaller gabled wings set forward from the central range. The exterior is roughcast with smooth rendered quoins and window surrounds, a renewed slate roof, and brick stacks. Plain painted wooden eaves boards run along all the gables. A gabled wooden porch, dating to the early 20th century, shelters the doorway in the left-hand gable, alongside a wooden canted bay window of a similar date. Painted stone mullioned window surrounds, with later glazing, are found throughout the elevation. A doorway is centrally positioned in one of the smaller gables, and to the far right is a later range containing a garage, attached to a two-storey brick building distinguished by decorative dentilated brick string courses and two blocked windows with sandstone mullions. The rear elevation incorporates a gable with a doorway and early 20th-century windows to the ground floor, mullioned window surrounds with later glazing to the first and attic storeys, a three-light window with painted stone mullions, and various other 20th-century windows.

Despite the 20th-century remodelling, the original plan largely remains. A noteworthy feature is an exceptional early 17th-century staircase, featuring pierced carved flat balusters, a heavy rail, carved finials, and a carved wooden frieze beneath the tread ends. The staircase rises the full height of the building and is said to be similar in style to the staircase at Lloran Issa in the parish of Llansillin.
