Description
Hockley Hall is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of brick, which is now rendered, and features 19th-century brick gables. The building has a tile roof with a brick stack and is designed in a T-plan with a single-storey rear wing. The house stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a symmetrical three-window range, along with a full-height gabled wing. There is a platt band at both the ground floor and the first floor and attic of the wing, with kneelers at the gables. The segmental-headed windows have plaster wedge lintels and feature two- or three-light small-paned casements. The first floor and attic windows are located only in the wing, but there is a blocked three-light chamfered-mullioned window on the right side that is revealed internally. A large cross-axial stack is present.
On the right return, there is a 20th-century lean-to porch. The rear of the house includes a later single-storey gabled wing with lean-to outshuts. Inside, there are back-to-back fireplaces on the ground floor; the room on the left has a stop-chamfered beam and joists, while the room on the right features an ovolo-moulded beam with run-out stops. A dog-leg stair is located in front of the chimneys, and there are stop-chamfered beams on the first floor, along with a blocked entrance to the rear. The attic contains queen-strut trusses and shows signs of a hood over the first-floor fireplace on one side of the chimney. In the garden, there are Jacobean-style ashlar finials that are said to have come from the gables.
