Bagshaw Hall

Bagshaw Hall is a large house, now used as offices, a house, and three flats, dating from 1684, with an earlier 17th-century range to the rear and a 19th-century wing to the side. The main fabric is deeply-coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings, with earlier sections in limestone rubble and gritstone dressings. The roofs are covered in stone slates.

The 1684 front is of two and a half storeys with cellars and an attic, arranged as a symmetrical 2:5:2-window range with gabled cross wings. A single-storey, 3-window range forms the side wing on the right. A parallel 17th-century wing extends to the rear left. The front has a chamfered plinth and large quoins. A stone staircase with iron handrails leads to a central doorway, which has a bolection-moulded architrave and consoles supporting a segmental pediment dated 1684 on the frieze. The windows are double-chamfered mullioned with continuous dripmoulds and iron casements with horizontal glazing bars. A broad single-light window is located centrally on the first floor, with a moulded sill, architrave, and keystone. The crosswing gables have pedimented windows in the attic, and coped parapets with ball finials. A balustrade with square balusters, dies with half-baluster stops, and ball finials runs across the centre. Three gabled roof dormers are flanked by ashlar stacks on the front slope.

The 19th-century side wing features windows matching the main range, and a blocked doorway with a keystone is located at the junction. The right return has a large external stack and a gable with ball finials. The left return has a parapet with two gables, followed by the lower gable of the 17th-century range which has five-light mullioned windows to both the ground and first floors, and a three-light window to the attic. A side wall of this range has quoins to the left of a later first-floor entrance, and the other end gable (to the north) is splayed and features a deeply-moulded three-light mullioned window to the ground floor and a simpler three-light window above.

Inside, the house contains bolection-moulded fireplaces and wall panelling in a similar style. The main entrance room has an oak-panelled dado and exposed ceiling beams with run-out stops. A painted 17th-century staircase has channelled newels, turned balusters, a deep-section handrail, ball finials, and pendants. Roof trusses possess curved principal rafters.

The 17th-century wing has principal-rafter trusses with diagonal struts.
