Description
Derbyshire House is a house located on Crank Road in Billinge-with-Winstanley. It dates back to 1716, as indicated by the inscribed pediment. The building is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof. It is two stories high and has four bays, with a base and quoins. There are bands above the windows, and the cross windows have architraves, flat mullions, and transoms. The entrance boasts a bolection-moulded architrave, flat pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment, with a plain board door that has chamfered battens. The returns and rear of the house have flat-mullioned windows set in chamfered reveals. A brick gable end stack is present on the right side, while the left stack collapsed by 1986. Inside, the house features some chamfered beams, and the dog-leg staircase has a moulded close string, square newels with round-headed panels, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail. There are also some two-panel doors with bolection mouldings on the first floor.
