Description
South Luffenham Hall is a small country house built in the late 17th century. It is constructed of ashlar and coursed squared stone, featuring a plinth, rusticated quoins, stone bands and dressings, a coved eaves cornice, and a hipped Collyweston slate roof. The roof has two symmetrical moulded stone ridge stacks, each with four linked flues. The building has a square plan and consists of 2½ storeys and a basement, with five mullion and transom windows that have moulded stone frames and sills.
The front of the house has two 2-light windows on either side of a central 1-light window, which is positioned above a plain stone tablet and a two-panelled door with an overlight. Access to the entrance is via a flight of stone steps with iron railings. There are also two 2-light dormers and two 2-light windows along with a 1-light basement window.
The principal garden front, located to the left, is nearly identical to the entrance front but features two main floors of ashlar and a central door that is part-glazed. This side also includes a first-floor band in addition to the ground-floor band, suggesting it may have originally served as the entrance front. The rear garden front is also similar, but it has a central 1-light window in place of the door and lacks the flight of steps.
The right front, which faces the kitchen yard, has three windows, with the right ground-floor window being glazed but blank behind. This is also the case for the left ground-floor window on the entrance front. Attached to the main block is a similar one-storey outhouse that features a moulded stone end stack.
