Northorpe Hall

Northorpe Hall is a small country house built in 1875 by G. H. Goldsmith of Manchester, representing a late example of the Norman revival style. The building features ashlar, coursed limestone rubble, yellow brick, slate roofs, and ashlar stacks. The entrance front consists of an ashlar block that is two storeys high and six bays wide, with a roll moulded base, decorative corbelled eaves, crow stepped gables, moulded kneelers, and ball finials.

The left bay is set back to create a battered entrance bay beneath a separate gabled block. The half-glazed double doors are accessed by three steps and are framed by a semi-circular surround with one order, circular nook shafts, scalloped capitals, and an arch featuring an outer order of zigzag moulding and a billetted hood mould. Above the doorway, there is a balcony supported by stone brackets, with a front pierced with star patterns and a zigzag base. A two-light casement window with a transom opens onto the balcony, set in a moulded recess topped with a decorated corbel. Above this is a shield encased in a scrolled surround.

To the left of the entrance bay is a full-height stair light with three round-headed lights, divided vertically by moulded mullions and horizontally by stepped panels that contain plain shields and scrolls. To the right, there is a ground floor two-light casement, followed by a projecting rectangular bay with a castellated top, a door, and another two-light casement. On the first floor, beneath stone stepped gablettes, are two two-light casements, with two smaller casements beyond. The gablettes feature mock arrow loops. Attached to the main house is a three-storey service block constructed of yellow brick. Inside, the corridor ceiling displays a pattern of squares and bosses, and there is an arcaded stair hall.
