Description
Sledwich Hall is a large manor house that dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with restorations completed in 1854 and a major rebuilding and restoration project carried out in 1911 by A.C. Martin. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with dressed quoins, a sandstone flag roof, and ashlar stacks. It has an altered U-plan with additions to the right side of the garden front.
The garden front features two storeys plus attics, except for the three-storey right wing. It consists of three main sections, with the outer sections being gabled projecting wings, and the right wing being deeper. The central gabled section of the main block has scattered fenestration and a 20th-century door on the left. The windows are primarily stone mullioned, with two and three lights, some featuring transoms, and most have been restored. There is a mix of 20th-century leaded glazing and some hoodmoulds. The gables are topped with stone copings and kneelers, and there are ball finials on the wings. On the left inner return, there is a projecting offset stack. The other facades have similar fenestration.
To the right, there is a two-storey, three-bay addition from 1911 that includes three hipped, stone-tiled dormers. The entrance front, which is mainly rebuilt, has two storeys and eleven bays, featuring a central two-storey porch and end wings. The roof is moderately pitched and has conjoined and corniced 19th-century ridge stacks.
