CHEDDLETON C.P. - SJ 95 SE 5/28 - The Bath House approx. 400m south- east of Basford Hall
GV II
Recreational building dressed as folly. Early C19 with minor C20 alterations. Rock-faced coursed stone, steeply-pitched shaped tile roof; roll-crested verge parapets on corbelled kneelers; twin- shafted end stack to left and ridge stack to right; string at first- floor level; 2-storey and 2-storey plus attic, 3-window front. Small slightly projecting gable inset to left and larger projecting gable to right; the former has a single-light attic window over a labelled 2-light stone mullioned first-floor window, the latter similarly increases from a single-light upper attic window over 2 and 3 lights below; both gables have Tudor-arch entrances with C20 glazed doors; the wide central recess has a 4-light stone mullion window to the first floor over a taller and transomed window to the ground floor; single-light transomed windows are set at the extremities of the building. To the rear and north-east (and rather inconspicuous from the approach) are set crenellated square and octagonal towers facing a small lake; the rather dichotomic planning presumably to create a prospect never completed. The interior of the building once housed a heated swimming pool with attendant service quarters, for the use of guests of Basford Hall (q.v.), home of the Sneyd family.
