Construction
The Hall dates from around 1670.
Additions and alterations were made during the 18th-century and
in the 1950s, when the Hall was restored and wings were added
at the sides.
The Hall was completely renovated and substantially extended
between 2012 and 2014 including the following additions:
• New brick built kitchen/dayroom wing with a further timber
orangery added in 2020
• Brick built orangery/cinema room to the rear
• Contemporary leisure wing with floor-to-ceiling glazing
The original Hall is constructed in brick with buff sandstone dressings,
and has a Kerridge stone-slate roof with stone ridges. It has three storeys
and symmetrical five-bay front. The lower two storeys contain 20th-century
wooden-framed mullioned and transomed windows. In the top storey
are two light casement windows. Above these are two shaped gables,
each surmounted by an obelisk finial, and containing an elliptical
window. There are single-storey, two-bay extensions on each side
of the house.
The Hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a
designated Grade II*-listed building. The gate pier in front of the Hall
is a Grade II-listed structure.
Technology

A comprehensive AMX Home Automation System controls all the
main functions of the Hall. This can be accessed via the wall mounted
