Rowley Hall

Rowley Hall is a house, now functioning as a hospital, built around 1817 by William Keen, with extensions added around 1910 and later. The building is constructed of ashlar stone with slate roofs and features several ashlar stacks. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in a classical style.

The exterior presents a symmetrical seven-window range, including a three-window bowed center. There is a platt band over the ground floor, topped with a cornice and blocking course. The entrance features an overlight and paired half-glazed doors, with similar window designs flanking it, all set within a bowed tetrastyle Ionic porch. The windows are 12-pane horned sashes. The left return of the building mirrors the front, showcasing a hexastyle colonnade and French windows with small-paned overlights.

The rear of the building resembles the front but lacks a porch. To the right, there is a two-storey range with a symmetrical two-window layout and projecting wings. It has a top band and blocking course, a central lateral stack with a first-floor panel, and 12-pane horned sashes. A 20th-century entrance has been inserted, and the wings feature windows set in tall recesses with moulded sills and aprons on the ground floor windows, along with panels between the floors.

Further to the right is a single-storey wing with an attic, displaying a four-window range, a top cornice, and a mansard roof. This section includes two pairs of 12-pane horned sash windows and end roundels, as well as three pedimented half dormers. A 20th-century two-storey wing is located at the right end. The rear includes a similar single-storey range with two pedimented and two round-headed dormers, and a re-entrant conservatory featuring leaded glazing in the upper panes and to the belvedere.

Inside, the entrance hall is round with a coved ceiling and two niches. It has paired inner doors with an overlight featuring decorative glazing bars. The ashlar cantilever stair is complemented by cast-iron balusters. On the first floor, there are two fireplaces adorned with columns and tiles, each topped with round mirrors in the overmantels; one fireplace features cream and pink tiles with Doric columns, while the other has blue tiles with Ionic columns. Some low radiators display relief decoration.
