Plessey Hall

Plessey Hall is a house with a core dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled in the 18th century and again in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, topped by a 20th-century pantile roof. The south elevation is divided into two sections. The left part is two storeys high with two bays, featuring renewed 12-pane sash windows in chamfered surrounds and slightly-projecting sills. It has coped gables on kneelers and stepped-and-banded end stacks. The right part is one and a half storeys with three irregular bays. To the left, there is a French window in a chamfered surround with a heavy lintel, and a similar doorway to the right, which is now blocked with a 9-pane sash window inserted. This doorway is flanked by 6-pane sashes set in the stone surrounds of former 2-light mullioned windows. Above, there are 4-pane sashes in chamfered surrounds located in raking half dormers, and the right gable is coped with a stepped-and-banded stack.

The left return features a French window in a chamfered surround with a heavy lintel, and a second chamfered doorway above with 20th-century glazing. The rear elevation has scattered fenestration that includes single-light chamfered windows and a small oval window, which may have been re-set.

Plessey Hall is a complex house that is difficult to interpret. A blocked window at eaves level on the north side suggests that the original 17th-century house may have been three storeys high. It is believed that the house was used as a farm building in the 18th century before returning to domestic use in the 19th century. The site is historically significant, being located on an important medieval site.
