Edwalton Hall Hotel And Adjoining Outbuildings

This is a large house, now operating as a hotel, built around 1907 and extended in 1958. It was designed by A. W. Brewill for his own use in an 18th-century Domestic Revival style. The building is constructed primarily of brick, with plain tile and flat lead roofs, and features moulded brick dressings. Distinguishing features include a chamfered plinth, Ionic pilasters, dentillated eaves, and pedimented gables, along with three ridge and two side-wall stacks.

The house is two storeys high with attics, and eleven bays wide on the front elevation. The windows are a mix of glazing bar sashes and casements, some with moulded hoods. The symmetrical garden front has a prominent two-story canted bay window with a flat roof, flanked by single gabled wings. The ground floor windows are pedimented, and a central French window is flanked by five sashes. Above are eleven sashes, and above those, each gable has an Ipswich casement with a hood mould. Flat-roofed dormers with small pediments are positioned above the main roofline. A matching two-story addition, built in 1958, is to the right, featuring four sashes on each floor, with hoods over the ground floor windows.

The rear elevation incorporates a projecting two-story wing to the left and a two-story pilastered porch with a half-round shaped gable to the right. The porch has a doorcase with a pediment and eared architrave. To the left of the porch are three casements with pediments, and above them, three casements; two pedimented dormers are above those, and a keystoned oval light sits within the gable to the right. A single-story service wing, arranged in a "C" shape, is also present on the rear, with a glazed door set beneath a timber porch, and a glazed verandah to the right. A casement sits within the gable of the service wing.

The interior features panelling, pilasters, and two Classical timber fireplaces with matching overmantels. The main hall is panelled and includes three stained-glass windows and a moulded oak fireplace. The stairwell and landing feature keystoned double round-headed openings with paired central columns. A dogleg staircase, with an intermediate landing, has turned balusters and pilastered newels topped with a pair of heraldic lions. The window arrangement on the garden front is intended to represent a cricket field, reflecting Brewill’s interest in the sport – specifically, three stumps, two umpires and eleven players.
