Hoyland Hall

Hoyland Hall is a large house dating to circa 1720, likely built for Sir Henry Wentworth. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The house is three storeys high, arranged in a double-pile, five-bay symmetrical layout. A plinth runs along the base, and angle pilasters rise as rusticated quoins on the first and second floors. The main entrance has a panelled door with an overlight, set within a moulded architrave topped by an open segmental pediment resting on console brackets, breaking through the ground-floor band. Tall sash windows are present on the front elevation, with the lower glazing now lost. The first-floor sashes are slightly shorter, and the second floor has shorter six-pane sashes. An ashlar apron links the central windows on the first and second floors. A moulded eaves cornice runs along the top of the building, with short moulded kneelers and gable copings. Truncated ashlar stacks are located at the ends of the building. The rear elevation is similar but plainer, with no visible doorway. Ground-floor windows in bays 4 and 5 have been replaced with a large 20th-century single window. Central windows on each return of the house illuminate corridors and stairways.

The interior features brick vaulted cellars and simple 18th-century panelling with heavy moulded cornices to the first-floor rooms. Original panelled doors and shutters remain.
