Ketton Hall

Ketton Hall is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later additions and alterations from the late 19th century and mid-20th century. It features roughcast masonry and a roof made of ridged concrete tiles, along with rendered brick chimney stacks. The two-storey, four-bay entrance front has a low plinth and includes a partly-glazed six-panel door with a fanlight, set behind a late 19th-century sandstone porch supported by Tuscan columns. This porch is flanked by wide mid-20th-century bow windows. The building has replaced 12-pane sash windows with projecting sills in other areas. The hipped roof has swept eaves and two ridge stacks. The two-bay left return has 20th-century bow windows on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes above. A shorter parallel wing on the left rear features a 12-pane round-arched stair window with an intersecting-tracery head. The 20th-century additions and two porches on the right return and rear are not considered of special interest. Ketton Hall was the home of the notable cattle breeder Charles Colling the Younger, who lived from 1750 to 1836 and was known for breeding the famous "Ketton Ox" between 1796 and 1807.
