Description

Wooldale Hall is a large detached house built in the late 18th century, with an early 18th-century rear wing. The building is constructed from finely dressed millstone grit and features rusticated quoins. It has a stone slate roof with chamfered gable copings supported by carved kneelers. There are two ashlar gable stacks, one of which is rendered, both topped with rounded caps. The house has a moulded eaves cornice and a string course, and it stands two storeys tall with five bays of single lights that have raised ashlar surrounds.

The central entrance consists of a six-panel door topped by a rectangular fanlight, with a frieze and cornice above. The early 18th-century wing at the rear is set at a right angle and features a hollow chamfered eaves cornice and an ashlar gable stack. On the south elevation, there is a three-light double chamfered window, although the mullions have been removed, and an entrance with a deep, shaped lintel. The first floor includes one three-light and one two-light double chamfered window. There may be an additional light that is covered by the later main hall. A later outshut extension has been added to the rear.
