Kitchen wing immediately west of Braunstone Hall

This is a kitchen wing, dating to 1776, that stands immediately west of Braunstone Hall, a small country house. It was designed by William Oldham, who later became the Lord Mayor of Leicester. The wing is constructed from red brick and stone, with a hipped roof covered in Swithland slate. It is attached to the main hall by a corridor and forms a block around a small courtyard. The exterior has three sash windows on each side facing the courtyard, over two storeys. Internally, rooms have been altered by being opened into classrooms, which has resulted in the removal of some ceilings and partitions, and there has been some loss due to damage. No significant historic internal features remain. Braunstone Hall and the attached kitchen wing, stable block, and walled garden were built in 1776 for Clement Winstanley. Built on a rise overlooking Charnwood Forest, the hall originally stood within 100 acres of parkland. The wing is designated at Grade II for its survival as a well-preserved 18th-century kitchen wing, for its association with the architect William Oldham, and for its group value with Braunstone Hall, its stable block, and walled garden.
