Description
Waddington Hall is a house that may date back to the early 17th century but was rebuilt around 1900. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof, designed in an H-plan. The west side has cross-wings that project forward, creating a courtyard. Both cross-wings have gables with copings, and the three walls facing the courtyard are topped with a balustrade featuring square balusters. The right-hand cross-wing includes buttresses.
On the ground floor of the right cross-wing, there is a 2-light mullioned window with an inner hollow chamfer and an outer chamfer. The first floor has an early 18th-century cross window with an inner chamfer and an outer cyma-moulded surround, while above it is a 2-light mullioned attic window from around 1900. The left cross-wing's windows appear to be from around 1900 as well, including a ground floor 5-light mullioned window with Tudor-arched heads and a flat floor 10-light mullioned and transomed window. The attic features a 2-light mullioned window.
The central section has a 2-light mullioned window with an inner ovolo and outer rebate, alongside a one-light window with a moulded surround. On the first floor, there are two 2-light double-chamfered mullioned windows that have been re-tooled and feature cinquefoiled ogee heads, likely reused from another location. At the angle with the right cross-wing, there is a moulded doorway with a Tudor-arched head, above which is a carved coat of arms set under a shaped coping.
At the rear, all the windows also appear to date from around 1900, maintaining a consistent style. The south cross-wing features a 2-storey canted bay window, and its south wall has a 17th-century mullioned window with four lights, showcasing an inner ovolo and outer chamfer. The interior has not been fully inspected, but it includes a wooden doorway with an ogee head at the rear of the hall, likely from the 17th century.
