Brian Royd Hall

Brian Royd Hall is a large house dating from the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, although part of it is now rendered, and features a stone slate roof. The building has a double pile plan with a two-span roof and coped gables, with a cross-wing that projects only at the front. It stands three storeys high with an attic, and the gables are adorned with moulded kneelers.

The front facade consists of four bays, with three bays featuring flat-faced mullioned windows that are recessed with square reveals. Each window has three lights of uneven sizes, with the smaller light in the center flanked by sashes of four panes, repeated on the first and second floors. The gable of the cross-wing includes an attic window. The central third bay has a doorway that is enclosed by a wooden Victorian openwork porch, which has cusped barge boards and is roofed with indented slates. A continuous string course with a cavetto profile marks each floor level, and each of the double pile gables has finely dressed chimney stacks.

The rear of the house features 19th-century fenestration across two storeys. A centrally placed doorway is flanked by sash windows on both floors and is adorned with a highly decorative wrought iron porch. The tall staircase window includes large painted glass pictures, with the topmost being heraldic and the lower depicting York Minster. The door consists of two fielded panels with a large etched glass panel above. Additionally, the side of the cross-wing features a tall staircase window with double margin lights. The interior appears to be from the 19th century.
