Description
Baildon House is a cottage and house that has been converted into a single residence. The cottage is marked with the initials "R H M" and the date 1715, associated with the Holden family, while the house is marked with the initials "RH" and the date 1724.
The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features stone slate roofs, rising to two storeys. It consists of a long range with the cottage on the left side, which has two first-floor windows. The cottage's doorway has tie-stone jambs, with a 2-light flat-faced mullioned window above it. There are tripartite sashed windows above, and a blocked doorway with a date stone over it, along with a blocked semicircular-arched window. The left gable is coped with kneelers and has a weathervane, while a large stack is located on the right gable.
A linking passage connects to the house, which projects forward and features a 3-light window on each floor. The house itself has a three-room plan and four first-floor windows, with quoins on the corners. The outer bays have mid-20th century canted bay windows, with a 4-light window above. The second bay has an altered doorway with a decorative plaque and a date stone above, along with a single-light window. The third bay features a 5-light window on each floor. The first-floor windows have recessed flat-faced mullions with an inner chamfer, and there is a moulded eaves cornice, coped gables with stacks, and another stack on the ridge. The rear of the house includes an arched stair window with impost blocks and a keystone, as well as a 2-light double-chamfered mullioned window. The left-hand return of the house has a porch supported by cast-iron columns, leading to a wide doorway with monolithic jambs and lintel, and a 2-light window above, along with a single-light 16-paned sashed window in the attic.
Inside, most rooms are adorned with richly moulded cornices. The stair hall features a closed string staircase with a wreathed and ramped handrail, slender turned balusters with two on each riser, and a pair of cast-iron columns with capitals decorated with acanthus motifs. There is also a semicircular-arched doorway with impost, architrave, and keystone.
