Arncliffe Hall
Arncliffe Hall is a historic building in Ingleby Arncliffe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The first Arncliffe Hall was constructed in the late 16th century for William Mauleverer, facing north. From 1753 to 1754, a new hall was constructed, on the same site but facing south. It was designed by John Carr, for Thomas Mauleverer.[1] Carr also designed a stable block to the southeast, which was altered in 1905.[2] The hall was grade I listed in 1952,[3] while the stables were grade II* listed in 1966,[2] at the same time as the forecourt and garden walls.[4]
The country house is built of sandstone, with a hipped Welsh slate roof, three storeys and a basement. The west front has five bays, alternating quoins, floor and sill bands, and stepped eaves. In the centre, balustraded steps lead to a doorway with an architrave, a fanlight a cornice and a pediment. The windows are sashes under flat arches with voussoirs, those in the ground floor with hood moulds. To the left are the remains of a later single-storey wing. In the right return is a Diocletian window and a Venetian window. The garden front has a rusticated basement, and a central perron leading to a doorway with a Roman Doric doorcase, engaged columns and a pediment. On the right is a conservatory, and a wall with a pedimented gateway. Inside, much of the decoration of the saloon, dining room and library survives, as does the original staircase.[3][5]
The stable block is built of sandstone with pantile roofs, and consists of four ranges round a rectangular courtyard. The main front has a modillion eaves cornice, an impost band, two storeys and seven bays. The middle three bays contain a carriage arch flanked by round-arched windows. The bays flanking these are pedimented, and contain round-arched recesses and doorways with fanlights. Short walls link the range to single-storey two-bay pavilions.[2][5]
The garden walls are also built of sandstone, and have flat copings. The wall running northeast has a cornice and ball finials, it contains a rusticated round-arched gateway, and an entrance with rusticated gate piers. The wall running northwest contains three gateways with keystones.[4]
