Larpool Hall

Larpool Hall is a late 18th-century house, built before 1790. It is constructed of ashlar and stands three storeys high. The front facade features a 2-1-2 window arrangement, with the central bay slightly projecting and surmounted by a small pediment in the parapet. The building is characterised by quoins, horizontal bands between the storeys and cill bands, and a band to the parapet. A 19th-century open-arched stone porch is located centrally, enclosing the original stone doorway, which has a pediment, shaped and enriched frieze, and 'Gothic' cluster half columns. The door itself is made of six fielded panels. Two-storey wings of similar design flank the main house, being slightly set back, with the left-hand wing featuring 19th-century stone bay windows.

Inside, the house retains an original mahogany balustered staircase. A Venetian staircase window with Ionic columns is also present, alongside various contemporary fireplaces. The balusters of the back staircase are later 17th century, featuring an openwork corkscrew design. An internal door incorporates 18th-century painted glass. One principal room contains a late 17th-century marble mantelpiece, featuring a white eaves architrave with a keyblock containing a red inset panel with a white rose. The frieze is of red marble, with a central white marble cartouche displaying three sectional polished ammonites. A yellow marble scrolled pediment frames a broken green marble tympanum, red centre block, and white marble foliage swags originating from the pediment's scrolls.

The historian Dr Young, in his 1817 “History of Whitby," described the house "as a large stone building, plain but stately commanding an extensive prospect."
