Birkdale Hall

Birkdale Hall is a house dated 1678, as indicated by the inscription over the doorway, with 19th-century alterations. The building features painted rendered walls and a graduated greenslate roof, complemented by cement rendered ridge and gable chimney stacks. There is an extension with painted rubble walls also under a graduated greenslate roof.

The house is two storeys high and has five bays, along with a higher right-angled single-bay extension. A 20th-century porch covers the original entrance, which has the inscribed lintel. The right ground-floor windows are Yorkshire sashes set in chamfered painted surrounds beneath hoodmoulds, alongside a small chamfered-surround fire window. The other windows above and to the left are casements framed in 19th-century painted stone surrounds. The extension features a projecting gable with sash windows that have glazing bars, also in painted stone surrounds.
