Description
Bloxholm Hall Farmhouse is a country house, now a farmhouse, dating from 1707 with substantial alterations in 1827, designed by Lewis Vulliamy, and further changes in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs, with gable coping and numerous stacks of varying designs. Ashlar quoins and ground and first floor bands are present.
The main east front has three bays with a central 20th-century glazed doorway and overlight. To the right is a 20th-century four-light square bay window, and to the left a pair of 20th-century glazed double doors. Above are a central 20th-century two-light casement and taller single two-light casements flanking it. A small gable above the centre displays the inscription "G.M.1827". Single two-light wooden dormers are located on either side.
A projecting two-storey tower stands to the south, with rusticated quoins, moulded bands, and round-arched ashlar openings on each floor, topped with a parapet and a small lantern. A single-storey wing adjoins the tower to the south, featuring round-headed blind openings with moulded ashlar surrounds and an impost band. This wing is currently in a dilapidated state. Remnants of the original house remain, including sections of walling and a jamb of an upper cross mullion window.
A single-storey link, with a 20th-century three-light casement, connects the main house to a square outbuilding. The outbuilding has three blind openings with round-arched louvred openings above, all within moulded ashlar surrounds. It features a hipped slate roof and a square louvred lantern. An arched wall connects the northwest corner of the outbuilding to a rear wing, which has a two-bay west front with two moulded, round-headed blind arches and a corresponding impost band. Above are two wooden cross casements with glazing bars in moulded ashlar surrounds, joined by a cill band. A simple moulded ashlar cornice tops the front, with a single ashlar dormer featuring two-light casements, scroll bracket jambs and a pediment.
To the south, an ashlar wall with a fine ashlar archway leads into the former service courtyard. This archway has rusticated ashlar piers, a moulded impost band, a large moulded round arch with a double keystone, and a moulded ashlar cornice with remnants of a parapet. Bloxholm Hall Farmhouse was originally the north service wing of Bloxholm Hall, built in 1707 for Septimus Ciprian Thornton, enlarged in 1772 and again in 1827 for George Manners by Lewis Vulliamy. The main hall was largely demolished around 1960.
