Description
Rayrigg Hall, dating to the early 18th century, forms a group with Hall Farmhouse, appearing almost attached. The hall is constructed of roughcast stone rubble with an old slate roof. It has two storeys and an irregular plan. Wood mullioned windows, featuring leaded panes, are a prominent feature. A small, irregular courtyard contains a stable and coach-house, now incorporated into the main dwelling. The east-facing entrance front has a central gabled porch and flanking gabled wings, all featuring wood mullioned and transomed windows of six or eight lights with leaded panes. Two large chimneys, consisting of clusters of three round chimneys joined together, are present. The south side, overlooking the lake, has three twelve-paned sash windows on each floor, with flanking two-storeyed bow windows containing three sashes. The west end includes a modern bow window in the centre, and a small, modern glazed link to a stable block which is not included in the listing.
