HISTORY OF RHUDDLAN HOUSE Rhuddlan House is a double-fronted detached dwelling built in 1904, dating it to the early Edwardian era. It was built on a plot of land known as Chinley Green and the Tithe map of 1841, with its accompanying Apportionment, tells us that the land was owned by James Goddard Jnr and occupied by Samuel Goddard. The field was aligned north to south and stretched from lower Lane in the north to the lane in the south which leads of Green Lane to Clare Lees which in 1841 was known as Warth Cottage.

Rhuddlan House was constructed from coursed gritstone (which may have come from Chinley Moor Quarry or Cracken Edge Quarry at Chinley Churn) with ashlar dressings. It has a slate roof and is set in grounds to three sides with a frontage onto Green Lane. A low-wall, with dwarf railings to the Green Lane frontage provides physical separation between the curtilage and the pedestrian walk-way. The house exhibits some survival of large-paned single-hung timber-framed and horned sash windows, but there have been some uPVC casement frame replacements. The door surround is ornate with fluted, square-section pillars surmounted with a volute-style projection and entablature.

There is a later two-storey extension on the north-facing elevation, with its own doorway, above which is a leaded-light window including the word SURGERY. This is consistent with later occupants of the house. The 1939 Register notes that head of the household at the start of the Second World War was Dr. John Mowat.
