Hodder Place

This is a late 18th-century house, with early 19th-century additions and later 19th-century extensions, originally a preparatory school for Stonyhurst College and now divided into flats. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar with slate roofs. The main portion of the south front has three storeys and three bays, featuring chamfered quoins, sill bands to all floors, and a moulded cornice. The stone facing on the third storey has a pinkish hue, suggesting it was added later. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars and plain ashlar reveals. A door sits within an architrave with a semi-circular head, beneath an open timber porch. To the left is a two-bay, two-storey section built with watershot stonework, also with chamfered quoins. The ground floor windows have a single bay window, likely from the later 19th century. To the right of the central portion, two bays have plain stone surrounds with semi-circular heads on the first floor. Connecting to this is a later 19th-century octagonal corner tower, open at cellar level to the east. This tower has pilaster strips with Tuscan capitals, moulded blank arches, and 1st-floor windows with semi-circular heads. The ground floor windows have rounded upper corners and false keystones. The recessed central section of the east facade is of two storeys and six bays, built of sandstone rubble with plain stone window surrounds and sill bands. A tower at the north end of the east facade mirrors the design of the south tower.
