Churchdale Hall

Churchdale Hall is a house, now partly used as offices, dating from around 1840, with the possibility of an earlier core. It is built from coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, and features stone slate and slate roofs with leaded ridges. The building has twin and triple octagonal ridge, gable end, and side wall stacks. The copings are continuous and heavily moulded, with rosette ridge finials on the south and east sides. The parapets are embattled, situated between ridgeback coped gables that have mid-point triangles and ball finials.

The hall is two storeys high and has six bays. The east elevation includes three gabled bays with recessed, embattled bays in between. The central bay features a tripartite glazing bar sash set in a deeply moulded aedicule, topped with a Tudor dripmould. To the north, there is a similar single sash and a later 20th-century window beyond. Further north, there is a later single-storey addition. To the south of the central bay, there is a glazed door and twin glazing bar sashes within a moulded aedicule. A large porch, supported by four square piers, has a moulded cornice that projects at the sides and center. Beyond this, to the south, is a later bay window with a tripartite full-height window, topped by a parapet wall with a central pediment and ball finials on the sides and center. Above, five glazing bar sashes are set in similar aedicules to those below, with the central window being tripartite with margin glazing bar sashes. There is also an inserted 20th-century window above that resembles the one to the north.

The east elevation has later features, including chamfered mullions and occasionally transomed windows. The porch over the door to the south has quatrefoil piers with attached shafts and segmental arches under a plain cornice. The south facade includes a large external stack with an arch at its base that incorporates a garden seat.
