Description

Witherslack Hall Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with a later addition. It is constructed of roughcast stone and features slate roofs. The building has a double depth plan and a south elevation that is two storeys high with five bays. There is a drip course above the ground floor and modillioned eaves. The windows are fitted with small-paned fixed glazing and opening lights. The central entrance is topped by a gabled slate canopy, which is now supported on posts, and features a studded door with "LD/1852" highlighted in studs. The gables are coped with kneelers, and the gable-end stacks include one on the left that is corbelled.

At the rear, there is a single-storey gabled wing with an outshut under a catslide roof to the east and a similar porch to the west. The house has cross-axial stacks and a gable-end stack. The rear includes a sashed window with glazing bars and a first-floor window with small-paned fixed glazing and a pivoted panel. The return attic windows also have small-paned glazing. There is a lean-to garage on the left return, and the south garden wall features water-worn limestone cresting.
