Description
Emley Woodhouse is a dower house, built in the early to mid-19th century as part of the estate of Bretton Hall, and now used as a house. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with a slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a main three-by-two bay facade, with a lower, set-back wing on the right side. Steps lead to a central panelled front door, which has a fanlight with glazing bars and is set within a doorcase featuring pilasters and an entablature. The ground floor windows are unequally-hung 20-pane sashes in corniced ashlar surrounds. The first-floor windows are also sashes with glazing bars, set in ashlar surrounds and with cill bands. An eaves cornice runs around the building, and the roof is hipped, with two wide chimney stacks. A Venetian stair window is located at the rear. The left return side of the building mirrors the front facade, incorporating French windows on the ground floor. Inside, the house is reported to have a cantilevered stone staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade and a mahogany handrail.
