The hall was built in 1779 in Georgian style. In 1885 the Chester architect John Douglas added a south wing and a porch.[2] The building is now used as a preparatory school.[3]
The hall is built in red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. Its plan consists of a five-bay central block, and north and south three-bay wings. The central block and the north wing have three storeys; the south block has two storeys and an attic. The middle three bays of the central block project slightly forwards and are surmounted by a pediment with an oculus in its tympanum. The south wing has shaped gables over the middle bay and on the gable end.[1]
