Description
Lunecliffe Hall is a small country house, now used as a house and office, dating to the late 18th century and early 19th century, with later additions. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof.
The house has a composite plan, featuring a rectangular, double-depth main block facing north, with rear additions including a service wing. The two-storey main block has a symmetrical facade of three bays, with a plinth, rusticated quoins, a sill band to the first floor, a moulded cornice, and a low blocking course. The central bay projects slightly and features a semicircular porch with three steps, supported by four Tuscan columns (two engaged), a plain frieze, and a mutuled cornice. A round-headed doorway within the porch has a fanlight with curvilinear tracery. The windows are 12-pane sashes with plain reveals. Gable chimneys are present.
The left return wall includes a doorway towards the rear, a tall, round-headed stair window above it mirroring the fanlight's tracery, a blind window with painted glazing bars at first floor, and a lunette with radiating glazing bars in the gable, which is treated as a pediment. The rear elevation incorporates an added service wing with three storeys. The right return wall includes a prominent late 19th-century five-sided bay window and a lunette in the pediment. Further additions to the rear include a late 19th-century two-storey canted bay window and an early 19th-century two-and-a-half-storey gabled bay with tripartite windows to the ground and first floors. This gabled bay also features a Venetian window with blind outer lights and intersecting tracery in the centre, and breaks into the gable's pediment.
The entrance hall contains Venetian-style panelled and glazed screens to the rear and left, with fluted pilasters, moulded architraves and fluted keystones. It also has two-light stained-glass windows.
