HASSALL C.P. (Off) ALSAGER ROAD SJ 75 NE 6/31 Hassall Hall and Hassall Hall Farmhouse (formerly both listed as Hassall 6.6.52 Hall)

- II*

Manor House, now 2 houses. C17. Rendered brick with plain slate roof. Two storeys. Entrance front: five bays symmetrically disposed. Projecting one-bay wings at either side with 3-light casement windows of C19 date to the ground and first floors. Band between the ground and first floors and above the first floor windows. The gables also have small bands and ashlar coping stones with C20 vases to the corners. The central three bays are recessed and have a central doorway at ground floor level with a C19 6-panel door the two central panels of which are arched. The classical surround has Tuscan pillars to either side supporting doserettes with rosettes. Open pediment above enclosing a fanlight. To either side at ground and first floor level are cross-windows. Band between the floors at the level of the sill of the first floor windows and another which rises above each of the first floor windows. The left hand side of the house has three bays at right of single storey height with a catslide roof above them. These have at far right a window of 4 x 4 sash panes and at left of this a late C18 or early C19 door and surround, the door having 6 raised and fielded panels with a moulded surround and consoles supporting a pedimental hood. To left is a C17 plank door with bolt-head decoration. To left of this range is the recessed bay with sash windows of 4 x 4 panes to the ground and first floors and to left again are three further bays of 2 storeys with an attic which appear to be an addition of C18 date. These have a doorway at right of centre. To either side of this are ground floor sash windows of 5 x 4 panes and there are first floor windows of 4 x 4 panes and attic windows of 2 casement lights. Interior: One ground floor room has C18 or C19 raised and fielded panelling and a C19 fireplace with Doric half-columns at the sides with doserettes above and a pulvinated frieze. The overmantel has a central arched panel with further half-columns at either side. Panelled ceiling of painted wood. The hall has an early C19 white marble fireplace containing a hob grate, and two ovolo-moulded ceiling beams. One further ground floor room has a double-ovolo-moulded ceiling beam and panelling below the dado line of run-through moulding and probably of late C17 date. Off the hall is a C18 staircase of 2 flights with 2 balusters to each tread and moulded tread-ends, a fluted newel post with curtail to the ramped and moulded handrail. One further staircase, originally of splat-baluster type but having now lost its balusters to the farmhouse.
