Butterley Hall

Butterley Hall is a house that now serves as police headquarters. It was built in the late 18th century, with additions made in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of pebble-dashed red brick, featuring painted stone dressings and quoins. It has a slate roof with rendered ends and axial stacks positioned halfway down the pitch of the roof, along with a dentilled cornice. The structure consists of two storeys plus attics and has eight bays, with a lower two-storey, eight-bay addition to the north.

The garden elevation features an off-centre canted stucco bay window with full-height plain sashes and a moulded cornice. To the south, there are two additional full-height plain sashes, and to the north, three 20th-century glazed doors with plain overlights. Above these, there are eight glazing bar sashes. All ground and first-floor sashes are set in plain stone surrounds. Above, there are five early 20th-century roof dormers, which have alternating triangular and semi-circular pediments; four of these dormers are on the north side with 2-light casements, while the one on the south has a 3-light casement. The addition features glazed doors on the ground floor and glazing bar sashes above.

At the rear, there is an entrance with a large porch supported by Tuscan columns. Inside, one room contains 18th-century panelling and a fireplace, which may have been re-used from another location. The staircase from the ground to the first floor has iron balusters and a wreathed handrail, while the staircase leading from the first floor to the attic is an 18th-century design with vase-shaped turned balusters. Butterley Hall was the home of Benjamin Outram, the founder of the Butterley Company, and also of Sir James Outram, a general with a notable career in India from 1803 to 1863.
