Habberley Hall

Habberley Hall is a manor house built in 1593, with later additions and alterations mainly from the late 19th century and early 20th century. The structure is timber framed with plaster infill, resting on a rubblestone and brick plinth, and features machine tile roofs with ornamental cresting. The building consists of a small hall flanked by two projecting cross-wings, and it has two storeys plus an attic.

The ground floor framing is close studded, with a single middle rail and long straight tension braces. Above this, there is ornamental panelling with diagonal struts forming a herringbone pattern, and a single middle rail. The gables jetty out over the first floor and attic, with moulded bressumers on the first floor and coving in the attic, supported by carved corner brackets. The jettying on the left gable extends around the left and right returns. The late 19th-century bargeboards add further detail.

The windows are arranged in a 1:1:1 pattern, featuring three-light late 19th-century casements below the eaves at the centre, and contemporary oriel windows in the cross-wings. The moulded cills and carved brackets of the oriel windows likely originate from the original late 16th-century fenestration. There is a gabled dormer on the roof slope to the left of centre. The entrance is located at the right-hand end of the hall, featuring a 20th-century door with carved corner posts and an inscription stating, "This house was builded as you see A.D. 1593 by WL."

At the centre of the back wall, there is a prominent painted brick external stack, with a former external lateral stack to the left of the left-hand cross-wing. Both stacks have three attached shafts of star section. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted to have square oak panelling with a fluted frieze in the front room of the left-hand cross-wing. There are tall late 19th-century additions to the left and an early 20th-century flat-roofed extension to the right, which are not of special architectural interest.
