The hall and the adjoining farmhouse, dated to 1691 and originally a smithy, has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.

[1] In 1978, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council established the Mellor/Moorend Conservation Area on the border of Stockport and Derbyshire, which incorporates the hamlet of Moorend and outlying farms Longshaw Clough and Podnor, settlements at the end of Longhurst Lane, including Brook Bottom and Lower Hall and St Thomas' Church and Mellor Hall.

The main hall was completed in 1688 according to Nicholas Pevsner, and the adjoining farmhouse is dated "IC 1691".

The hall is a 2-storey building, with seven bays on each floor, and a central door displaying a coat of arms and a steep broken swan-neck pediment.

"[1] Three nearby buildings associated with the hall are listed at Grade II: an outbuilding that once included labourers' accommodation,[5] a former barn and shippon,[6] and a sundial.
