Kiveton Hall

Kiveton Hall is an early 19th-century house built from horizontally-tooled, coursed limestone with a slate roof. It stands two storeys high with attics and features a three-by-two bay layout, with the entrance located in a wing at the rear left. The building has a plinth and a straight joint to the right of the second bay. A central one-storey canted-bay window has been fitted with renewed casements that include glazing bars. The flanking bays contain 24-pane sash windows with projecting sills and wedge lintels that have keystones. There is a first-floor band beneath three similar windows, with a 16-pane sash in the third bay and later casements elsewhere. The house has ashlar end stacks with bands and a rendered ridge stack to the right of the centre.

On the right side, there are two tall 18-pane sashes on the ground floor and a first-floor band beneath two 12-pane sashes, with surrounds similar to those on the front. An attic window is a round-headed casement with glazing bars. Kiveton Hall occupies the site of Kiveton Park, which was the residence of the Osborne family, Dukes of Leeds. Although a scheme for Kiveton Park was designed by William Talman, the house constructed from 1698, as shown in measured drawings by James Gibbs, is not believed to be Talman's work. Kiveton Park was demolished in 1811, and Kiveton Hall may have been built shortly after that.
