Description

Woodthorpe Hall is a house dating from the 17th century with later additions. It is built from coursed coal measures sandstone and features quoins, coped gables with moulded kneelers, ashlar ridge and gable stacks, and a stone slated roof. The house is designed in an L-shape.

On the east elevation, it is two storeys high with attics and consists of five bays. The central doorway is flanked to the south by a single light 17th-century opening and to the north by a three-light recessed and chamfered mullioned window. At the north end, there is a former doorway with a quoined surround and a massive lintel, now blocked to form a two-light window. A three-light chamfered mullioned window is located at the south end, and all windows are beneath a continuous dripmould that steps up over the blocked doorway. The first floor features two three-light and three single light windows, all from the 17th century, also beneath a continuous dripmould. There are two gabled dormers in the attic, each with copings and kneelers, and three-light mullioned windows beneath plain dripmoulds.

The south elevation has five bays with a gable to the east and features single, two-light, and three-light mullioned windows beneath continuous dripmoulds. There are two gabled attic dormers, each with three-light mullioned windows. An off-centre single-storey gabled porch has a Tudor-arched lintel. The ground floor windows have been increased in depth.

On the north elevation, a two-storey porch from Owlerton Hall in Sheffield has been added, featuring a rusticated ashlar surround with a massive projecting keyblock above a cambered doorway head, all beneath a plain dripmould. Above the doorway is a three-light chamfered mullioned window with a plain dripmould, and above this is a plaque bearing a coat of arms.

Inside, there are two notable 17th-century hearths and exposed ceiling timbers in the ground floor rooms. The attic rooms contain exposed cruck trusses, which are either raised or upper crucks, apparently reused from an earlier structure.
