Description:
|
Albumen print of the exterior of Lower Huxley Hall, Cheshire. East wing view of the hall. It is constructed in brick with dressings in buff sandstone. The roof is Welsh slate with a stone ridge and massive lateral brick chimney with three diamond stacks. It has two storeys and an attic, and its west front is symmetrical with three bays. The end bays project forward and have coped gables. They contain five-light mullioned and transomed windows in both storeys. The centre bay has two three-light mullioned and transomed windows in the lower storey, and a single similar window in the upper storey. Between the storeys in the central bay is a heraldic plaque. Attached on the right is a later built south wing projecting forward. Directly in front of the hall is a grassed area, then water filled moat, then another grassed area.
