Royle House

Royle House, a late 18th-century presbytery rebuilt in 1836, stands on Church Street, Old Glossop. Designed by M E Hadfield and T G Weightman, it is constructed from squared and coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings, topped by a hipped Welsh slate roof punctuated by three stone stacks. The building follows a double-pile plan.

The east garden front has four windows arranged in a 3:1 configuration, each featuring a four-pane plain sash window beneath a narrow lintel. The south entrance front presents a single doorway with an ashlar surround and a half-glazed panel door, above which is a single four-pane plain sash. The west front exhibits a recessed bay containing a doorway in an ashlar surround and a single twelve-pane sash window to its left. Above this is a matching twelve-pane sash. A tall, round-headed stair window with 23 panes is centrally positioned, flanked by single twelve-pane sashes on each floor. The north front is extended with a single-storey addition, incorporating two small four-pane plain sashes to the left, with a single twelve-pane sash above.

The interior remains uninspected, but ground floor rooms retain panelled internal shutters. Royle House adjoins All Saints Roman Catholic Church.
