Description
Meiros Hall is a late 19th-century house with attached coach house and stable range. The main dwelling is constructed in snecked stone with a hipped slate roof, stone end stacks and overhanging eaves. It comprises two storeys arranged in a 3-bay facade fronted by a large entry porch.
The principal elevation features 4-pane timber sash windows with stone voussoirs and slate sills. The porch is particularly fine, with double half-glazed doors and a notable set of coloured etched glass narrow panels flanking the entrance, together with an overlight containing small square flanking lights and a projecting cornice. A basement window to the left is set beneath a cast iron grill with stone voussoirs; a 6-pane casement is positioned to the right of a glazed panel.
The right side presents three bays of two storeys rendered in plain stucco, with 4-pane sashes to the left bay and replacement 4-pane casements to the centre and right bays. The gabled rear elevation incorporates a stone end stack. The shallower left side is faced in stone with similar fenestration towards the right angle, featuring 4-pane sashes with slate sills and stone voussoirs to each storey.
A narrower rear service range of five bays and two storeys, constructed in colourwashed rubble, extends from the main house. The openings are headed with cambered brick, and the slated roof forms two pitches steeping towards the apex. A modern single-storey flat-roofed extension to the rear angle partially obscures the left bay. The ground floor contains a boarded timber door with rectangular overlight to the second bay, a 4-pane sash to the third bay, and a truncated 12-pane casement to the fourth bay with a rendered lower section. The fifth bay has a modern 4-pane casement inserted into a blocked doorway with stone voussoirs. The upper floor carries 4-pane sashes to the first and fourth bays and a 4-pane casement to the third bay, all with timber lintels and heads at eaves level. A lower roof ridge to the first and second bays indicates a later extension to the house dating to around 1900. Rainwater goods have been replaced in modern materials.
Interior features include a central hall with a stucco arch on decorative corbels and a small ceiling rose. Six-panelled pitch pine internal doors, plain stucco banded cornice and 2-panelled Victorian window shutters are present in the reception rooms. The main staircase has turned balusters and rail in pitch pine. A marginally-glazed panel above the landing contains some coloured panes. A large decorative leaded glazed panel in coloured glass is positioned to the rear reception room. The cellar contains stone steps and a stone dividing wall.
The attached former coach house is built in colourwashed rubble stone at right angles to the rear range, forming a three-sided enclosure with the rear of the main house. It comprises two bays to the right of a gable end. The first floor left bay has a 2-pane casement beneath a swivelling 3-pane light, with a 12-pane casement and similar swivelling 3-pane upper to the right, the far right being partly obscured by the attached range. The ground floor features a large metal-framed 14-pane light inserted into the former coach house door, with brickwork beneath and to the sides. The gable end carries a yellow brick end stack and a louvred roundel to the gable with brick dressings. A 4-pane sash lights the first floor, whilst the ground floor has a 12-pane casement with swivelling 3-pane upper. Cambered brick heads and dressings and slate sills are used throughout.
The attached stable range adjoins at the right with its gable end. The main elevation faces north and comprises six bays in rubble stone with yellow brick quoins, dressings and cambered heads to the openings. The pitched slated roof is evident. The upper storey windows to bays one, three and five feature timber lintels with 6-pane uppers above boarded lower sections. Similar openings with cambered heads are present at ground floor level to bays two, three and four. Boarded timber doors occupy bays one, five and six, with bays five and six featuring 3-pane glazed overlights.
The coach house portion of the range includes casement windows with swivelling opening lights to the first floor and a large window inserted into the former coach house door. A yellow brick stack is positioned to the gable end, with a louvred roundel to the gable and single windows on each floor.
The rear ranges have been substantially altered during the 1960s and subsequently, when they comprised interconnected coachman's house, servants' quarters, coach house and stables.
