Stainley Hall

Stainley Hall is a country house built in 1715 for Miles Staveley, with 19th-century additions and restoration completed in 1985. The building features Flemish bond brickwork, an ashlar plinth, and stone slate roofing, with quoins at the corners. It stands three storeys high and has five first-floor windows. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door flanked by rusticated columns and a pediment that bears the inscription "M.S. 1715." The flanking and first-floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set in eared and shouldered architraves with keystones. The second floor has six-pane sashes with eared architraves. The eaves cornice and blocking course have been renewed. The roof is hipped, with a lateral stack on the left and a ridge stack on the right.

At the rear, the building is rendered, and there is a repositioned door in a projecting service wing to the left, featuring an alternate quoined surround and a five-part lintel. A bay window is located to the right. A garden wall is attached to the left front, and a service range with a courtyard is situated to the right, all of which were rebuilt around 1985.

Inside, restoration was ongoing at the time of the last survey. The main room on the ground floor to the left includes a fireplace, an overmantle, wall panels, a four-panel ceiling, and door surrounds with broken pediments, all adorned with plaster relief designs featuring scrolls, birds, shells, and classical motifs. There is a doorway leading to a rear room with a bay window. The rear center features a staircase hall with two flights of stairs, showcasing fine gadrooned balusters. The treads and staircase window are decorated with a key pattern. On the first floor, the rear right room contains original panelling, which is also in the process of restoration, featuring large moulded panels and internal shutters.
