Kirkheaton Manor

Kirkheaton Manor is a house that originated as a 16th-century bastle house, which was refronted in the early 17th century, with an extension added to the right around 1740. The building was restored in 1930 and is constructed of random rubble with a Lakeland slate roof, while the 18th-century section features ashlar stone with a lead roof.

The manor has two storeys and five bays. The three-bay 17th-century section on the left includes a central Tudor-arched doorway with a moulded surround and hoodmould, along with three-light mullioned windows that were slightly enlarged in 1930, all featuring hoodmoulds. The lead downpipes and rainwater heads from the 17th century are believed to have come from Hawnby Castle in North Yorkshire.

To the right is the higher two-bay 18th-century section, which has large 24-pane sash windows on the ground floor, an 18-pane sash window above with a string course and triple keystones. This section also has a moulded cornice and a solid parapet with angle pilasters and pilasters above the windows.

The older part of the manor has a gabled roof with flat coping and kneelers, along with 19th-century end and ridge stacks. Inside, the walls of the older section are 3½ to 4½ feet thick, with the front wall being slightly thinner. The dining room features a large 17th-century stone fireplace with a Tudor-arched head, while the former kitchen has a large segmental-arched fireplace. On the first floor, there are three stone fireplaces with Tudor arches, one supported by large rounded corbels. The 18th-century section includes a late 19th-century Gothic fireplace on the ground floor, adorned with a frieze of tiles depicting the four seasons, and a restrained 19th-century plaster ceiling with geometric shapes. The former drawing room, now a bedroom, has 18th-century fielded panelling with a wood cornice, and a 16th-century doorway with a Tudor-arched head and broach-stopped chamfered surround is located in the rear wall.
