Braithwaite Hall

Braithwaite Hall is a house that likely dates back to the 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and restoration work that began in 1979. The building is constructed of rubble and is rendered on the south front, topped with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and features four first-floor windows. A four-panel door is located to the right of the center, set in a chamfered quoined surround with a lintel inscribed 'I M I 1695'. The flanking windows and those on the first floor are 20th-century side-sliding sashes, also in chamfered surrounds with plain lintels. The house has end and central stacks.

At the rear, there is a continuous outshut, with windows and a door that were restored in the 20th century within their original openings, along with 20th-century dormers. On the right side, there is a shallow pointed arch leading to a door into the outshut, two-light windows that were restored in 1980, and a loading door in the left gable.

Inside, early features of the house include two spiral staircases built into the thickness of the internal longitudinal wall and a large stone fireplace with chamfered voussoirs located on the rear wall of the front room to the right. The North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group documented the building in Report Number 465 (1978) with a supplement in 1979 following extensive restoration.
