Aston Hall

Aston Hall is a large house with a lobby entry plan, dating from the 17th century. It features a short cross wing at the west end, which has a notably steep pitched roof. The building consists of three bays, with two full storeys and an attic. There is a projecting storeyed porch opposite a brick ridge stack, and a second gable stack at the west end that has been incorporated into a masonry service block. The roof is covered with weather-treated slate.

The house is timber framed, with box framing and brick nogging set on a rebuilt brick plinth that is low at the front and high at the rear. The framing is unusually regular, consisting of six panels high throughout, except above the gable bressumers of the cross wing where cross braces are present. The porch itself is box framed, with three panels high on the ground storey and close studded on the first storey, supported by two substantial consoles. The porch door is modern, featuring four panels and an overlight, and above it is a hornless nine-pane sash window.

In front of the west and central bays, there is a glass conservatory built on a brick plinth, accessible from the house through French windows. The remaining windows in these bays are mainly modern casements, and there is a small attic dormer above the central bay that contains a small casement window. The east bay features hornless twelve-pane sash windows, with two on each floor. The east end of the house is clad in corrugated iron. The rear elevation primarily consists of irregularly spaced twelve-pane sash windows, along with small modern casement windows in the west gable and the masonry range beyond.

At the rear of the house, attached to the framing, is a fire mark from the Salop Fire Office. Access to the interior was not available during the inspection in January 1996.
