Description
Higham Hall is a country house built between 1900 and 1902 by Harry Quick for C.H. Morris. It is constructed of red brick with sandstone dressings and has plain tile roofs. The building features brick triple and quadruple ridge stacks located to the left and right of the center and at the left end.
The south front of the house has two storeys and includes a continuous drip mould over the ground floor, along with a bracketed gutter at the eaves level. The fenestration is irregular, with four windows on the ground floor and seven on the first floor. All windows are mullioned and transomed casements with ovolo-mouldings and square lead lattice upper lights. There are gabled projections to the left and right of the center, as well as a gabled semi-dormer to the right. A two-storey canted bay window is found on the right-hand projection, with two additional bays to the left: one square bay at the extreme left and another to the right. A small entrance is located to the right of the extreme left bay.
The entrance bay is two storeys high and features a central square tower with a crenellated cornice. It has a three-window front with ovolo-moulded transomed and mullioned windows. The central entrance is pointed arched and has a double order of shafting, leading to half-glazed double doors with panelled side-lights.
Inside, the hall features oak panelling in Jacobean style, and there is an Adam style drawing room. A gallery with a staircase leading up is located in the bay at the south end.
