Cononley Hall

Cononley Hall is a former manor house, constructed in the later 16th or early 17th century, with additions from the later 18th century. It was divided into three separate dwellings in 1908. The original western portion is built of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. It has three storeys, quoins, and coped gables with kneelers. Although many windows have been replaced, the south (entrance) facade retains one five-light transom window to the first floor and one to the second floor, and the north facade retains one five-light transom window to the first floor and one three-light transom window to the second floor. These original windows have hoodmoulds and are double chamfered with an ovolo inner chamfer.

The 18th-century addition is of hammer-dressed stone with a hipped slate roof, quoins, a sill band to the ground and first floors, a cut modillion cornice, and two central chimneys. It is three storeys high and three bays wide, with windows featuring stone architraves and sash windows lacking glazing bars. A Tuscan stone doorcase with engaged columns and a pediment tops the arched doorway, which now has a modern door. The return facade is five bays wide, with a pediment on consoles above the central window of the first floor. At the rear, a section of ashlar wall incorporates a reset lintel with the letters RSESS arranged around the date 1628.

The interior of the older portion contains a large segmental arched fireplace with a moulded surround. The newer part features a rich modillion cornice in the south-east room (now subdivided), two doorcases with Adam-style friezes, and an open string staircase with three turned balusters per tread, a curtail, and a moulded rail.
