Description

Arley Hall, now the Wigan Golf Club house, is a house dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. A datestone on the building reads "I I/1367," which refers to the original manor. The structure is made of stucco with stone dressings. The garden front features two storeys and seven bays, with the central bay canted. The second and sixth bays project forward under shaped gables with finials. There is a top cornice and a pierced traceried parapet. The windows are casements with segmental-headed heights. The central bay includes a frieze above the ground floor window, adorned with tracery panels and an armorial bearing.

On the left return, there are four bays, with the third bay recessed and featuring a projecting porch, while the fourth bay also projects. The first two bays have five-light windows with concave pointed heads and two open quatrefoils between the first-floor windows. The entrance has a Y-panel door, and the third bay features an entrance with clustered shafts and an ogee head. Inside, there is a panelled Tudor-headed inner entrance with paired panelled doors, a pierced parapet, and the date stone above. The rear of the house has two wings with dusped bargeboards and Tudor-headed sashed windows with pointed lights. The stacks have clustered diagonal shafts. The interior includes gothic details on doors, the staircase, fireplaces, and grates. The house is surrounded by a moat from the original medieval manor house.
