Badsworth Hall

Badsworth Hall stables, built in the 18th century and converted into a dwelling in 1941, stand on the east side of Main Street in Badsworth. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with raised rusticated quoins, and has a slate roof. It follows a long rectangular plan. The symmetrical facade features a large round-headed arch in the centre, originally for carriage access. This arch has a raised surround, a triple keystone, and splayed imposts and now frames a doorway with a stilted fanlight and side windows. To either side of this arch are sixteen-pane sash windows with raised surrounds, and above them are three small square windows with similar surrounds. A hipped roof now tops the structure, with a large chimney at the left end and a smaller ridge chimney near the right. The rear elevation includes a similar round-arched carriage entrance, a small window to the right, and four large twenty-four-pane sash windows at ground floor, all with raised surrounds and small keystones. Seven square windows are located at the first floor, with most having raised surrounds; the first and last windows are larger and lack keystones.
