Gouthwaite Hall

Gouthwaite Hall is a house dating from the 17th century that was rebuilt and relocated in 1900. It is constructed of coursed squared stone and ashlar, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building is single storey with attics and has three bays. To the right of the central bay, there is a 20th-century board door set within a 20th-century chamfered four-centred arch surround. The central bay projects forward from the left-hand bay and features a gabled roof, with an 8-light chamfered mullioned and transom window that has a continuous hoodmould. The right-hand bay is also gabled and projects forward from the central bay, containing a 6-light chamfered mullioned and transom window with a hoodmould. The left-hand bay has a similar window, along with a small chamfered window to its right. Above these, there are two double chamfered 5-light mullioned windows in the gables, each with hoodmoulds. The building is finished with stone coping and has two ridge stacks. Inside, the main room features some 17th-century panelling and a large 17th-century four-centred arched stone fireplace. The original 17th-century structure, known as Gouthwaite White Hall, was relocated from the valley during the construction of Gouthwaite Reservoir and was rebuilt as two houses.
