Scaleby Hall

Scaleby Hall is a house built in 1834 for Henry Farrer. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar and features a chamfered plinth, raised quoins, and a plain raised cornice. The roof is made of green slate and has a large wooden eaves cornice with modillions, which extends to form a wooden gabled pediment, along with ashlar chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five bays, a single-storey, two-bay extension to the right, and a two-storey, four-bay extension to the rear.

The entrance porch is prostyle Ionic, featuring a moulded entablature and cornice, with a wrought-iron balcony above. The top glazed panelled door is adorned with a patterned fanlight and has a moulded architrave with pilaster strips. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, and the one above the entrance has a shouldered moulded architrave.

Inside, there is an apsidal semicircular cantilever staircase with lattice infill between turned wooden balusters and a mahogany handrail. The round arch staircase window contains late 19th-century coloured glass and panelled shutters. The principal room includes a wall recess with a round arch and pilaster strips, a moulded plaster cornice, and a decorative plaster boss, along with panelled shutters. Throughout the house, there are painted panelled doors, one of which is made of mahogany. The extensions were likely added in the late 19th century for Sir Robert Allison, a Liberal MP, who hosted Gladstone at this residence.
