Description
Whitwell Hall is a country house built in 1835 by Pritchard and Watson. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a Westmorland slate roof. The house is designed in the Tudor style and consists of two storeys and an attic, with a central hall that has radiating rooms and a main staircase leading to a gallery. The façade has three bays arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern, separated by pilaster buttresses.
At the center, there is a single-storey embattled canted bay that includes three-light cusped straight-headed windows. The outer bays feature four-light traceried four-centred windows. A first-floor band carries cusped square-headed windows, with two lights in the central bay and three lights in the outer bays. The building is topped with an embattled parapet on decorative corbels, which has a central gable containing a two-light cusped window surmounted by a finial. There are also octagonal angle turrets and a hipped roof with decorative octagonal stacks. The entrance is located on the right return front, beneath a porte-cochere with Tudor arches, which is topped by an openwork parapet featuring a quatrefoil motif.
