Breedon Hall

Breedon Hall is a house located in Breedon-on-the-Hill, with parts dating back to the early 18th century at the rear northeast corner. The building was extended in the mid-18th century and refronted in 1777, as indicated by the dated rainwater heads, which also feature the initials NC for the Curzon family. The property was refurbished and converted into apartments around 1970-1980, and in 2011 it was altered again into a single dwelling.

The house is constructed of brick, with an ashlar plinth and moulded stone eaves. The front is made of better quality red brick with fine white mortar joints and some stone dressings. It has a hipped slate roof and a brick chimney on the left that was rebuilt in the 20th century.

The building has a double pile block design, with the front being two storeys high and the rear rising to three storeys with cellars. The five-bay front features stone band courses at the first floor and sill level, along with modillion eaves and a leaded blocking course, all of which are painted stone dressings. The centre bay is slightly advanced and pedimented, with three-pane sashes that have narrow glazing bars and fine gauged heads. The first-floor window in the centre bay has a painted stone architrave surround. Below is an eight-panelled door with an ornamental rectangular fanlight and flanking two-pane sashes, all set in a painted stone surround with Doric pilasters, an entablature, and an architrave frame. The door is approached by six spreading stone steps, and above it hangs a metal lantern. Downpipes with dated rainwater heads are located on either side of the central bay.

The rear of the building has three mid-18th century bays with three-pane sashes and gauged heads on the right, and two earlier 18th century bays on the left. These left bays feature a rendered plinth, dentilled brick band courses, and boxed three-pane sashes that were renewed in the 20th century. There is a two-storey extension on the far left that originates from the 18th century but has been significantly altered. The 20th-century interior is reported to lack any notable original features.
