Lawton Hall

Surrounding buildings were also converted for residential use, and houses were built in the adjoining estate.

[2] The house is constructed in red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof.

In the middle bay is a round-arched doorway, now blocked but containing a sash window.

The exception is the middle bay to the right of the central section that contains a single-storey porch with Doric columns.

[1] Inside the building, before the fire and conversion into separate residential units, Pevsner reported that there was a 17th-century staircase and two Jacobean fireplaces.

The two main rooms in the centre of the house contained plaster ceilings and chimneypieces in Rococo style.

[6] The study to the left of the entrance hall had 17th-century oak panelling,[4] as did three rooms in the attic.
