II

Cotton manufacturer's villa, now hotel. Said to be 1856; altered. Coursed rock-faced sandstone with freestone dressings, steeply-pitched fishscale slate roofs with blue crested ridge tiles. Eclectic Gothic style. Irregular approximately square plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 5 unequal bays, strongly asymmetrical, the 1st and 3rd bays gabled and the latter projected, a square single-storey porch to the left of this, and in the range to the right a rectangular bay window at ground floor with a canted bay on top of it breaking the eaves. Moulded plinth, bracketed eaves and plain barge-boarded gables. The porch, which has false gables to front and side with crocketed finials, has a Tudor-arched window to the front with etched plate glass, a shield over this, and in the left side a large Tudor-arched doorway with an elaborate moulded surround including set-in shafts, carved spandrels, a square hood-mould with figured stops, and a door with trefoil-headed panels. All the windows are different: above the porch is a lancet with a trefoil over it and a brattished gable above; at 1st floor of the gabled 1st bay, a 2-light mullioned window with elaborate raised surround including a frieze of quatrefoils; in the projected gable to the right of the porch, a tall window at ground floor with raised surround and above this a stepped 3-light mullioned window with a hood-mould; in the range to the right, a one-light sashed window at 1st floor with a hood-mould which has figured stops, and then the tiered bay windows, both with columnar mullions which have carved foliated caps (all different), that at ground floor with a geometrically-panelled parapet and that at 1st floor with segmental-pointed lights, richly-carved spandrels and frieze, and a steep polygonal roof with wrought-iron finial including remains of a weathervane. The roof has 3 chimney stacks, each with 3 embattled octagonal chimneys. The left (north) return side, 5 bays in similar style, with 3 gables, has (inter alia) 2 large canted bay windows at ground floor with blind mouchette tracery to the parapets, and 2-light mullioned windows at 1st floor. Most windows are sashed without glazing bars. The right-hand (south) return wall has (inter alia) a tall 2-centred arched stair window with Y-tracery and stained

glass. INTERIOR: encaustic-tiled floor to porch; moulded Tudor arches to the reception hall (which was formerly a well with a skylight but now has a C20 ceiling with rooms above); very elaborate moulded plaster cornices and ceilings in the main reception rooms on the north side and especially in the dining room at the south-west corner, which is also panelled; various marble fireplaces in these rooms; and a staircase with closed string and mouchette traceried balustrades.
