Edgefield House Hotel And Boundary Wall

Edgefield House Hotel, originally a vicarage, was built in 1863 by G. E. Street for the Rev. Winstanley Hall. The building is constructed of brick and features half-hipped and gabled plain tile roofs with ashlar dressings, a string course, plain eaves, a single gable, and three ridge and one side wall stacks. It is three storeys high and has four bays, forming an L-plan.

The main west front has a half-hipped, off-centre projecting bay. To the left, beyond a coped boundary wall, is a plank door. To its right, there is a tripartite sash window and a single sash window. Further right, a door with decorative hinges is flanked by a light, followed by a double sash window. Above this, to the left, are two double sashes with relieving arches, and to the right, there is a single plain sash along with single and double casements. Above again, there is a half-hipped cross-eaves dormer with two casements.

The south front features a projecting gabled wing to the left and an east wing with a projecting half-hipped central bay to the right, which has two large mullioned and transomed windows. Above, to the left, are single casements from the 20th and 19th centuries with a relieving arch to the left, and to the right, a sash window with flanking lights and a relieving arch.

The east front has a projecting gabled wing to the left and a single-storey outbuilding with two bays to the right. The left side features a tripartite sash and a plain sash, while the right side has two 20th-century casements. Above, there is an off-centre mullioned sash flanked by single sashes. The north gable has a first-floor band and pilaster strips above it, with single mullioned sashes on the first two floors and a 20th-century casement above.

Inside, there is a dogleg staircase with a winder and landing, featuring crenellated square newels, chamfered splat balusters, and a moulded handrail. There are also two moulded ashlar Gothic fireplaces with chamfered corners and corbelled marble shelves, attributed to G. A. Stephenson of York. Outside, there is a brick boundary wall to the north, which has shaped brick coping and a gateway with stepped coping.
