Description
Worsbrough Hall, which includes Nos 4 and 5 Worsbrough Hall, is a large house that has been converted into three dwellings. It dates from the 17th century and consists of two builds, with some windows altered. The building is constructed from ashlar sandstone and features a stone slate roof. It has a U-shaped plan with gabled front wings and two short wings at the rear of the central block. The structure is two storeys high, with attics, and part of it rises to three storeys, displaying a layout of 1:4:1 bays.
The exterior includes a chamfered plinth and continuous dripmoulds on each floor. A two-storey porch is located to the right of the center, featuring a Tudor-arched doorway beneath a cross-window, topped with a coped gable that has an apex finial. The flanking bays have four-light mullioned windows, while the single light window is positioned on the far right. The taller first-floor windows are transomed.
On the left wing, a higher ground-floor dripmould covers a transomed three-light gable window, with a cross-window on the first floor and an altered attic window opening. It also features shaped kneelers and gable copings, along with a truncated ashlar ridge stack. The right wing is similar but has three storeys and a two-light second-floor window beneath an eaves dripmould.
The rear of the building has later additions at the rear-right corner, which include a projecting stack with a rebuilt shaft. There is a lateral stack at the rear of the central block and a truncated wing at the rear left. The rear gable of the left wing features early leaded lights in a corniced cross-window.
The left return side has five bays with transomed three-light windows beneath sashes that have glazing bars in square-faced surrounds. The right return side has six bays with sashes that include glazing bars, except for the ground-floor bay three, which has a doorway, and the second-floor bay five, which has a casement.
The interior has not been inspected. In the early 17th century, the house was occupied by Thomas Edmunds, who was the secretary to Thomas Wentworth, the 1st Earl of Strafford of Wentworth Woodhouse. In 1775, John Platt carried out work on the drawing room for Francis Edmunds, and the property remained in the Edmunds family until 1831.
