Spennithorne Hall

Spennithorne Hall is a large house, dating from the 18th century with possible alterations in the early 19th century. It was built for the Chaytor family. The house is constructed of roughcast rubble with an artificial stone slate roof. It comprises two ranges set at right angles. The garden front, facing south and likely dating to the early 19th century, may have been designed by John Foss of Richmond. This facade has two storeys and a 1:5:1 bay arrangement. Rusticated quoins are present on the right. Openings are surrounded by sandstone ashlar. The central doorway is beneath a fanlight, which is glazed as a sash window with glazing bars, all within a Roman Doric pedimented portico. Above the doorway is a round-headed window with intersecting glazing bars, a keystone, and impost blocks to its surround. The end bays feature semi-circular bows with tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, separated by Roman Doric engaged columns. The remaining windows are sash windows with glazing bars. A blank pediment surmounts the central three bays, and there is a chimney stack at the left end. Lead rainwater goods are present, with embossed initials 'C'.

The rear range is of two and a half storeys and has five bays facing west, featuring sash windows with glazing bars and a round-headed landing window. A projecting chimneybreast can be seen to the north. A late 19th-century projecting porch sits in the angle between the two ranges. This porch is constructed with two ashlar Doric columns supporting a crenellated parapet. Inside the porch is a part-glazed oak door within a round-headed doorway with rusticated quoined and voussoired surround.

The interior of the south range contains good Regency rooms with original features, including doors, fireplaces, shutters and ceilings, one of which has banded reeds. The west range, where it joins the south range, includes an early to mid 18th-century open-well staircase with turned balusters.
