Description

Rudyard Hall is a manor house dating from the mid-17th century, with additions made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of rough-faced coursed stone, featuring smooth dressed quoins and cavetto strings at the floor levels and plinths. The building has a 'T'-shaped plan, which includes a hall range and a parlour cross wing, with a side stack located at the rear of the hall.

The entrance front is two stories with an attic and features a projecting gabled cross wing to the right, which has a single range of windows. The attic contains a 2-light chamfered mullion window above stone cross mullion windows on the ground and first floors. To the left of center is a set-back hall range that also has a similar arrangement of cross windows. A boarded door with a segmental head is positioned to the right under a massive block lintel. There is a projecting, gabled, blind 19th-century wing that is partially attached to the left and connects to further wings.

On the garden front, there are three bays, featuring 2-light cross-mullion windows and plain mullioned windows in the attic, all with labels. The center of the flanks has a 3-light range, and there are continuous label strings at the ground and first floors. Inside, there are three principal rooms that are oak panelled.
