Description
The Warden's House at Crewe Hall, part of the University of Sheffield, was built around 1850. This house, formerly known as Oaksholme, is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof with a single ridge and two stone stacks on the side walls. It has a plinth, first floor, and sill bands, along with mutule eaves. The building is two storeys tall with attics and has a square plan, featuring a symmetrical arrangement of three windows across the front and back.
The windows are plain sashes with moulded architraves, and the ground floor windows have cornices. A central round-arched open portico is supported by corner pilasters and features a mutule cornice and an open balustrade. The entrance includes a round-headed glazed double door with sidelights. The left side of the house has three windows on each floor and a box dormer above. The rear has three windows, and below it, there is an altered round-headed door, which is flanked on the left by a single window and on the right by two windows. The interior has not been inspected.
