Early or mid C19. Ashlar. Hipped slate roof. 2 storeys. Moulded eaves cornice.
Blocking course. 1st floor sill band. 5 ranges of sashes with glazing bars,
central one breaking forward slightly. One storey porch projection: 2 fluted
Ionic columns, full entablature and blocking course. One-storey wing to west,
with moulded cornice and blocking course. Lower 2 storey wing to east: 3 ranges
of sashes. Extension further east: one-storey, with 3-bay arcaded basement,
serving as cartshed to stable yard; moulded eaves cornice; blocking course;
one sash and one tripartite sash. 2 conservatories with wooden glazing bars,
one at either end of rear elevation. Although plain, this elevation looks
particularly fine at a distance, looking down the Holme Valley.
Interior: although dilapidated, this is a fine specimen of early C19 interior
decoration, with good neo-classical plaster cornices and wooden door surrounds.
The 2 best rooms are in the south-east and south-west corners of the ground
floor. Both have shallow segmental vaults, the south-east one quadripartite,
with ribs and an anthemion centrepiece. This room also has a shallow recess
on each side, framed by 2 pilasters with anthemion-ornamented capitals, and
roundels on the entablature. Marble chimneypiece with 2 free-standing fluted
Greek Doric columns. Hall has 2-bay arcade with fluted Tuscan columns and
moulded voussoirs. Late C19 staircase with elaborate wooden balusters. Room
in the west wing has a coved plaster ceiling.
