Description
Armathwaite Hall is a house built in the early 19th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. It features painted sandstone rubble walls and a hipped slate roof, along with rendered chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and consists of six bays.
The garden front includes a 20th-century glazed door and sash windows with glazing bars that have plain painted stone surrounds. On the north front, there are two two-storey canted bay windows with lead hips and 2-pane sashes. The rear, which now serves as the entrance front, has an off-centre single-storey extension flanked by two-storey projecting end bays with hipped roofs. To the left is a 20th-century door, and to the right is a large round-headed staircase window featuring intersecting glazing bars; the other windows are sash windows with glazing bars. This building was likely known as Armathwaite Villa, the home of Mrs. de Whelpdale, constructed between 1829 and 1847. The listing does not include any outbuildings.
