The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and the gate piers in the drive leading to the hall are designated Grade II.

[2] The manor of Thurstaston was given to Robert de Rodelent by Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, in 1070.

In the centre is a bolection-moulded doorcase surrounded by unfluted Corinthian half-columns, and a broken pediment containing an armorial shield.

[5] On the driveway to the north of the hall is a pair of stone gate piers dated 1733.

At the tops of the piers are entablatures with pulvinated friezes that are surmounted by finials in the form of lions' heads (the Whitmore crest).

[6] Hartwell et al in the Buildings of England series describe the hall as being "of charming appearance, tranquil and mellow".
