South Rauceby Hall

South Rauceby Hall is a country house built in 1842, designed by William Burn for A. Peacock Wilson in the Jacobethan style. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar with both pecked and plain finishes, and features slate roofs with raised stone coped gables and obelisk finials. It has six banks of square and octagonal wall and ridge stacks with moulded cornices.

The house has a T-plan layout and an irregular two-storey front with six bays, which includes a plinth, a moulded string course, and a cornice with a pierced parapet on the right. The entry bay is prominent and gabled, flanked by another advanced bay and an octagonal tower topped with an ogee lead roof. To the right is a rectangular bay. The entrance features double six-panelled doors with a semi-circular panelled top set in an arch with a moulded head, imposts, and a key block, all surrounded by an elaborate frame with engaged Doric columns supporting a plain frieze adorned with strapwork armorial cartouches and urns.

To the left of the entrance is a 20th-century four-panelled door in a former window opening, followed by two three-light windows and a four-panelled door leading to the angle tower. The right side has tall single three and four-light windows. On the first floor, there are four three-light windows, a four-light window, and a two-light window, all featuring chamfered ashlar surrounds, with the windows having chamfered mullions and transoms. The projecting service block on the left has two matching two-light windows.

At the left rear, there is the former stable court and trap houses, which include five sets of double planked doors beneath segmental arches, with flush panelled doors and glazing bar sashes in the flanking service ranges, all under segmental arches with plain chamfered surrounds.

Inside, the hall retains original marble chimneypieces in various 18th-century and foreign styles. The dogleg staircase features single 17th-century style twisted balusters on each tread, and above it is an 18th-century style oval glazing bar skylight. The panelled doors have wooden cornices, and the panelled hall is decorated with a stencilled ceiling.
