Description
Woodthorpe Hall is a 17th-century house that has undergone alterations. It is two stories tall and features a central, three-bay block with hip roofs and one-bay side wings. The exterior is made of coursed, squared, smoothed stone. The entrance front has a cornice band that runs continuously with the gable coping of the outer sections, and there is a parapet in front of the stone-flagged roof. The right extension is a blank two-story structure. There are stone stacks on the ridge and at the gable peaks. The windows are early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars, set in raised stone surrounds, while the garden front shows traces of 17th-century window frames.
On the ground floor, tripartite windows flank a six-panel door that is sheltered by a prostyle Tuscan porch. The west return has a similar style and includes repairs to the stonework. There is also a tripartite window on the garden front extension. Inside, most of the woodwork is early 19th-century, with one 17th-century fireplace and a three-panel ceiling featuring deep cornices dating from around 1700. A wood ribbed quadrant in one corner of the drawing room suggests a fan vault. The dining room and other areas feature exposed heavy chamfered beams and joists. A wall running west from the south-west corner, which has a demolished building behind it, is likely from the 18th century.
