Description
Rackery Hall, dating from the early 18th century, is constructed of handmade red brick with a Flemish bond on the front elevation and an English garden wall bond on the other sides. It features a sandstone plinth and quoins, along with a sandstone string course at the first floor. The slate roof has stone copings and kneelers at the gables, and red brick chimneys rise from the gable ends. A wooden cornice with plain brackets adorns the building.
The hall is two storeys high with an attic and basement, presenting a symmetrical front elevation. The central door is topped with a shell canopy, and there are four recessed windows on the ground floor, each with 4-pane horned sashes, painted stone lintels, and stone cills. The second floor has five similar windows, while the attic features three small gabled 4-pane dormers. The rear elevation includes four later windows set in possibly 17th-century window openings. A 20th-century single-storey addition, partly formed from a stone dairy, is also present.
Attached to each side of the house are brick walls with stone copings that are cranked and run parallel to the drive, creating a formal enclosure. Inside, Rackery Hall retains many early 18th-century features, including an oak well staircase with closed string and turned balusters that rises through the full height of the building. There are remains of a kitchen fireplace with a bread oven in one of the ground floor rooms, wide boarded doors, and chamfered and stopped ceiling beams in the ground floor rooms. A first-floor room contains a powder cupboard, and the cellar retains a stone mullioned window.
