SJ 98 SW POYNTON-WITH-WORTH C.P. MIDDLEWOOD ROAD
(North Side)

3/117 Nos 1 and 2 Worth Hall

II

Formerly Worth Hall farmhouse now 3 flats: C17 with early C19
alterations to front, additions and interior modifications later C20.
Coursed, squared, brown sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings.
Kerridge stone-slate roof, stone ridge and 4 brick chimneys.
Originally rectangular in plan with 2 short ranges at right angles,
(each with a side gable) with parallel ridges, to rear. 2-storey,
3-bay west front. 16-pane horned sashes inserted into rebated C17
surrounds on ground floor, with a continuous projecting band forming
hood moulds above them; and under plain lintels above. Left gable has
a partly blocked 3-light, tall, rebated, chamfered stone mullion below
and a blocked 2-light, tall, rebated, cyma-moulded stone mullion
above. The east front shows a 4-light, double-rebated chamfered stone
mullion below (one mullion only survives) and a 4-light chamfered
stone mullion above under a rubble hood mould. The south front has 2
large bevelled reveals and a 2-light C18 square-section stone mullion
in side gable. Massive roof timbers visible in all gables.
Interior: Much altered but some chamfered beams.

An extraordinary mixture of mullioned window types suggests a
complicated C17 building history.
