Saddington Hall And Garden Wall

Saddington Hall is a house located on Main Street in Saddington. The main part of the building dates from the early 19th century, while the rear wings have a core from the 17th century, specifically dated 1674, although they have been altered. The oldest sections are made of coursed and squared ironstone, while the early 19th-century block is rendered over brick on an ashlar plinth. There is also a linking section built around 1900 using brick. The roof is primarily covered with Welsh slate, although some of the oldest parts have Swithland slate.

The main range of the house is two stories high and consists of five bays, with each of the lower openings set in a recess featuring shallow segmental heads. The central doorway has leaded lights on either side and a shallow radial fan above it. The windows are 16-light sashes with fine astragals and there are two moulded sill bands, with the lower one being moulded. The eaves overhang, and there are axial stacks.

To the rear right, there is a wing that appears to date from the 17th to 18th centuries. This wing is made of coursed and squared ironstone, raised with brick and render, and has been refenestrated with paired and triple sashes that have thick transoms and moulded stone hood moulds in each of its three bays. The central window was likely a former doorway. Above, there are three hipped gabled dormers. A conservatory, which is a curved structure with many tiny panes, is situated beyond this wing against a later brick wall.

At right angles to this wing and located behind it is another section dated 1674, also made of ironstone and two stories tall, but it has been re-roofed. The doorway is now in an outshut beside the gable wall and may have been relocated; it features a fine shouldered stone architrave and hood mould. The ground floor has a three-light casement with a transom, while the upper floor has two lights and a brick oculus in the gable apex beneath the date stone. The side elevation of this wing includes a 19th-century doorway and casement windows, as well as one early upper window that is now blocked, featuring a chamfered stone architrave beneath a brick arched head. The wing has quoins and moulded kneelers at the gable, along with gable and axial stacks. A brick garden wall is attached to the house and extends along the street front.
