Ruswarp Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruswarp Hall is a historic building in Ruswarp, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The country house was constructed in the late 17th century.[1] In the 20th century, it was extended to both right and left.[2] The building was grade II* listed in 1954.[1] By the 21st century, the building was operating as a ten-bedroom hotel.[2] In 2024, it was purchased by the Historic Hotels & Properties group.
The house is built of brick with stone dressings, quoins, and a slate roof with capped gables. It has two storeys and attics, and is seven bays wide. The central doorway has a moulded surround, a double curved frieze, and a broken segmental pediment enclosing a square block with lozenge ornament and a ball finial. The windows are mullioned and transomed, with alternate broken triangular and segmental pediments. All the openings have quoined surrounds, and above are three gabled dormers with finials.[1][3][4]
The front garden walls are in stone with stone gable topping. The gate piers are also in stone, and have a square section and are surmounted by ball finials. They are of the same date as the house, and are also grade II* listed.[5]
