Description

Wyndthorpe Hall is a Grade II listed building. The Hall itself dates from the early nineteenth century. It is in stucco with a slate roof. It frontage is elaborated with a Central recess with glazed double doors in architrave flanked by tall Ionic columns. The landscaping around the building comprises of formal gardens around the house, with a lawn sloping down to the parkland to the southwest, which is contemporary with the date of the building. To the east of the hall lies a walled kitchen garden with a glasshouse surrounded by small pleasure grounds, which stretch round to the northwest front of the hall (Klemperer 2010). The hall is approached along a winding driveway through a plantation of trees and the building is set within grounds that retain elements from 19th century maps. To the northeast corner lies what appears to have originally been the stables to the hall. These are part of a cluster of 19th century buildings that are connected with the estate, such as Park Lane Cottages and Park Lane Farm.
