Description

ROLLESTON C.P. CRAYTHORNE ROAD SK 22 NW (east side) 3/70 Craythorne Hall - (now includes Craythorne Manor) - II

Large house (now in 2 units). Mid-Cl9 with C20 alterations. Sandstone ashlar (chisel draughted to porch) and dressings and raised quoins. Hipped slate roof of low pitch and corniced eaves; brick side stacks. Complex plan, roughly rectangular. Entrance front to south of 2 storeys and 2 windows, raised band at first floor level and plinth; glazing bar sashes; projecting wing to left of one window; slightly taller and narrower projecting wing to right, Italianate, suggestive of a tower; paired round-arched window, labelled on capitals; balustraded balcony at first floor; centre recess with cast iron balustraded porch on frieze and paired Tuscan columns running flush with the faces of adjoining wings; 2 small round-arch windows within porch flank central entrance with architrave and part-glazed double doors. The appearance of the house implies several dates, but the parts are very similar, presumably the intention being to give the effect of an accretive development.
