Description

Sandal House is an early 19th-century building located on Barnsley Road. It features a two-storey entrance front with four windows and a low-pitched stone flagged roof that is hipped on the left side. There is a chimney at the junction with the rear wing, which may indicate that the front is a re-facing of an 18th-century structure, as the rear part dates from that period. The walls are currently pebbledashed and painted. The entrance includes a six-panel door with an oblong fanlight set in a trellis porch. The main southeast front has two storeys and five irregularly placed windows, all of which are early 19th-century sashes with glazing bars, mostly four panes wide. The internal woodwork and shutters are from the 18th century. Inside, the house displays some early 18th-century features, including panelling, heavy beams, and a groined segmental vaulted brick cellar, along with some imported wainscoting. There is also a late 18th-century marble chimney piece that has been imported. A Victorian extension at the south side adds one tall storey and a basement, featuring two pointed arched windows.
