Seedley House

Seedley House is a house likely dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, though with possible earlier origins. It is constructed from roughly coursed sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and has a hipped Welsh slate roof. The rear features sandstone stacks, some with detached brick shafts. The house has a roughly rectangular plan, facing south.

The south elevation has three windows, each with glazing bar sashes and dressed lintels. A central doorway has a semi-circular head with dressed voussoirs, a two-leaved six-panelled door, and a fanlight. Four enriched oval tie-plates are located around the central window. A moulded sandstone eaves cornice runs along the top of the elevation. The north elevation includes an oval window to the top landing, positioned between two projecting gables. A low, single-storey service wing projects forward from the right gable.

Inside, the principal west room contains an early 19th century white marble fireplace with roundels in the top corners, amber and ochre panels to the surrounds, and a raised cast-iron hearth. An oak four-flight cantilevered staircase has square section balusters, a wreathed handrail with ivory inlay at the bottom, and a balustrade that curves out from the well on the three half-landings. Carved tread ends and cast iron newel posts are present. The first landing incorporates an integral early 19th century display cabinet with glazing bars and three drawers.
