Howick Hall West Wing

Howick Hall west wing is a kitchen wing and service building dating to 1782, designed by William Newton for Sir Henry Grey. It was altered and subsequently converted to residential use in the late 20th century. The main block is constructed of ashlar, while other parts utilize both ashlar and squared stone. The roof slopes to the courtyard are largely covered with graduated Lakeland slate, with other slopes featuring Welsh slate.

The south front of the main block is two storeys high, with a five-bay facade (1 + 3 + 1 bays). It features a plinth, a ground floor impost string, and a first floor band. A blind arcade runs along the ground floor. A slightly projecting central bay has 12-pane sashes on the ground floor, the central window converted into a French window; similar windows are located on the first floor. A modillion cornice tops the facade, culminating in a pediment. The left end has a blocked ground floor window, with a 12-pane sash above. A similar configuration is found on the right, with ground floor features obscured by an attached wing, and a sash window above. Some sashes have been renewed. The hipped roof incorporates a belfry with a round arch, imposts, and flanking pilasters above moulded roundels, the hood mould continuing as a string. A pyramidal slate roof supports a weathervane. The left return is five bays (1 + 3 + 1 bays) with a slightly projecting pedimented centre and sill bands; ground floor 15-pane sashes have been lengthened to cut through the sill band, while 12-pane sashes are positioned above. A late 19th or 20th century single-storey wing to the left features paired 15-pane sashes at each end, alongside two single sashes on its inner return, topped with a hipped roof. The right return mirrors the left, but all windows are renewed 12-pane sashes.

The courtyard elevations incorporate a seven-bay main block remodelled in the late 20th century, displaying a central arched doorway and small-paned sashes. The west range is two storeys high, spanning three plus four plus three bays, with a taller, projecting central section featuring a central arch with flush-panelled double doors and a radial fanlight, alongside renewed 12-pane sashes and six-pane sashes set within flat-topped half-dormers; end stacks are present. The flanking parts have doorways in the end bays and 6-pane sashes. A single-storey, two-bay section of the north range features rusticated quoins and a central arch with vertical-panelled double doors, topped with a radial fanlight, and altered flanking windows. Coped gables are topped with stepped-and-banded end stacks. An east-facing pedimented gateway with rusticated quoins and an elliptical arch sits between pent roofed outbuildings (the right one remodelled in the 20th century), backed by a tall wall.
