Darley Cliffe Hall can be found enjoying a little known Green Belt location a mile from the town centre forming part of a small cluster of fine individual homes.
Thought to have been attributed to the great architect Sir Christopher Wren, but unconfirmed, this impressive hall dates back to at least 1685 and probably replaces an earlier property on the site.
The hall is indeed an exceptional house. Standing testament to the master craftsman of yesteryear, its architectural importance was recognised with being Listed Grade II (*). Built of fine coursed sandstone featuring ashlar and quoins, a hipped stone roof with flat centre and two principal elevations that are virtually identical, each having nine tall windows and portico entrances with a semi-circular pediment.
This gracious house presents generously proportioned five bedroom/two bathroom accommodation, set over its two main floors, served by two staircases and complemented by a large three room attic and useful storage cellars including a boiler room. Standing in large beautiful grounds, the approximate boundaries are shaded green on the accompanying Ordnance Survey. They comprise of a formal walled forecourt garden with broad pebbled areas, shrubs and bushes. In addition, there is a mainly grass side court with ornamental stone walls, cobbled driveway and garage. To the rear of the hall there is a superb enclosed garden comprising of gently sloping lawns with central stepped footpath, interspersed with a wide variety of mature trees, wide herbaceous borders. Beyond this there is a walled kitchen garden where in one corner the ruins of the old Monastery still stand. A steeply banked woodland screens the property on the south side through which a driveway runs from Kingwell Road connecting to Upper Sheffield Road.
