Description

This is a mid-17th century house, altered in the early 19th century, and now used as a home for the elderly. It is constructed of sandstone, with random rubble in the hall and coursed stone in the cross-wing, featuring copings on the kneelers. The roof is covered in concrete tiles. The building has an L-shaped layout, comprising a main hall and a cross-wing, with a central axial chimney stack and a smaller, likely 19th-century, stack above the hall gable.

The original front of the house, now facing the garden, was remodeled in the early 19th century. It now has a roughly central doorway with chamfered jambs and a Tudor-arched lintel, protected by a hoodmould. To the left of the doorway, on both floors, are three-light mullioned windows, with a similar window on the first floor to the right. Below this, on the ground floor, is the original eight-light hall window, which is double-chamfered, transomed, and features a king-mullion and ovolo inner chamfers, also protected by a hoodmould. The cross-wing to the right has a six-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor (lighting a parlour), a five-light mullioned window on the first floor, and three stepped windows within the gable, all double-chamfered and under hoodmoulds.

The original rear of the building is now the entrance front and was remodeled in the early 19th century with a central doorway, a panelled and glazed door, a three-light window on each floor to the right, and a similar window on the first floor to the left (the ground floor window is now obscured by a 20th-century outshut). The cross-wing projects to the left, featuring a three-light stepped window in the gable, a five-light mullioned window on the first floor (both double-chamfered under hoodmoulds), an early 19th-century four-light window on the ground floor to the left, and three original windows related to the staircase on the right.

Inside, the hall has a fireplace with a four-centred moulded arch 2.5 meters wide. The parlour has a simple cornice and two panels of elaborate plasterwork depicting vine trails between ceiling beams, which have simple stops. A dog-leg staircase is situated at the rear of the cross-wing, constructed of stone. The property formerly belonged to the Shuttleworths of Gawthorpe Hall.
