Description
Whitwell Hall is a country house built in the early 19th century. It is two storeys high and constructed of red brick, with later major wings made of gault brick and hipped slate roofs. The original house likely has a double pile design, oriented on a north-south axis, and features an east-west range of three windows at its southern end, along with an 'L'-shaped range that forms a yard to the west.
The west facade consists of three bays, with a central half-glazed door framed by a doorcase that includes fluted pilasters, a Doric entablature, and a cornice. This is flanked by two single-storey bays that contain sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and lead flat roofs. On the first floor and within the east-west wing, there are sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and flat gauged brick arches. The service wings feature both sash and casement windows with glazing bars, flat brick arches, and stone sills. Attached to the service wing are a lean-to greenhouse, a potting shed, and walls for the kitchen garden.
The gault brick wings enclose the northern and eastern sides of the original house. The principal facade on the east side has five bays with a central porch, and there are two bays to the north that are slightly set back. The north elevation is long but has only one window and includes a 20th-century fire escape. The west elevation features two windows. All elevations have a plinth with stone weathering, giant pilasters with moulded brick tops at the corners, and a moulded brick course below the eaves. A wide central pilaster panel contains the porch, which is supported by fluted Doric columns, pilasters, an entablature, and a cornice. The windows are storey height, with sashes, glazing bars, stone sills, and flat gauged brick arches. The timber eaves of the house have paired shaped brackets, and there are red brick axial and gault brick stacks. The interior is primarily Victorian in style.
