Muxlowe House

Muxlowe House is a house that was formerly part of Areley Hall, consisting of its original kitchen and service wing. Some parts of the building may date back to the early 16th century, while much of it is from the early 17th century, with some alterations and re-facing from the late 19th century. The structure is timber-framed with some brick additions, all covered in roughcast render and topped with a plain tiled roof.

The main elevation faces south and features an original low range of two bays on the right, with a central projecting gabled bay that has exposed posts and a mid-rail. Timber-framing is also visible in the bay to the right of this, although the gable stack wall is partly made of coursed and squared sandstone. To the left of the original range, two taller gables were added around 1870, which include wide casement windows on each floor with mullions and transoms, as well as decorative timber and brick nogging in the gable apexes. A tall stack with clustered brick flues is situated between these gables.

The rear elevation is roughcast and features late 19th-century casement windows. The rear wing, which was originally detached, is a timber-framed range likely from the late 16th or early 17th century and was probably not originally used for domestic purposes. It is framed in square panels with a queen post roof construction and some tension bracing, standing four panels high and thirteen in length, with windows inserted within the panels and one wood mullioned unglazed window in the upper storey. A stack has been added against the east wall, which also has inserted garage doors to the north.

Inside, the principal room of the main range features a square section moulded spine beam. In the upper storey, there are remains of curved principal trusses (or upper crucks) with wind braces.
