Redhall House

Redhall House is a large house, now the headquarters of the Rugby Football League. It has 17th-century origins, with the main range dating to the late 18th century and additions made in the early 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick in both Flemish and random bond, with ashlar detailing and slate roofs. It is two storeys high, with attics, and has nine first-floor windows.

The original part of the house is the five-window central range. The central three windows are set within a wide, pedimented bay which projects forward. This section features a central panelled door, set in an eared architrave with a pediment above. Flanking the door are narrow windows with seven-pane sashes, flat brick arches to both ground and first floors, above a continuous sill band. Above, a large, traceried fanlight window is set within a keyed architrave. Later, in the early 19th century, wider sash windows with seven-pane sashes were added to the outer bays, set within corniced architraves. The house has sill bands, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and a blocking course. The central range is topped with a hipped roof and end stacks, while the outer bays have separate roofs.

The rear of the house has two gables, possibly dating to the 17th century, with stone copings. It also has 12-pane sashes in flush wood frames, along with a slightly-projecting brick and ashlar stack, which rises behind an added lean-to service range. An attached rear wing, on the north side of the courtyard, is composed of three bays. The outer bays are gabled with copings and turned-in kneelers, while the recessed central bay has two four-centred arches, now fitted with windows.

Inside, the entrance hall extends to the first floor, lit by the large fanlight, which contains purple and yellow glass panes. It features deeply carved door cases with moulded entablatures, cornices, six-panel doors, and a bucranium frieze leading to a cross-corridor. There are window shutters, a large 19th-century fireplace with heavy console brackets, and a badge related to the Ibbetson family. The hall ceiling contains a central rose and a modillion cornice. A very fine mid-18th-century staircase has knopped balusters shaped like columns on vase bases, a moulded and ramped handrail, a fluted end column, and a carved string. A round-headed stair window has margin lights and a modillion and egg-and-dart cornice. A service staircase rises from the ground floor to the attics and has column-on-vase balusters and a ramped handrail.
