Description | This hall was built c.1740. It has a two storey sandstone ‘brick’ elevation with rusticated quoins, and is of five bays. It has a plinth, moulded stringcourse, and a moulded stone eaves cornice, with shaped kneelers set above to the coped gable ends of the stone slate roof. There are also flanking chimneys. The hall is five windows wide, set symmetrically about the doorway. The windows are in moulded stone architrave surrounds, have modern glazing, and moulded sills on block brackets. The pedimented doorway has a Gibbs surround and a massive triple keystone. This is a rare survival of a house of this period in an area built up in the latter part of the 19th century. The interior was considerably altered in the 19th century, and the staircase is open string with turned balusters swept round with a hand rail to the foot. |
