Gransden Hall

This is a small country house, originally built in the mid-17th century with an H-shaped plan, featuring cross-wings to the east and west. The house is primarily constructed of soft red brick. The north-facing facade was rebuilt in 1716, and a two-storey addition was made to the rear of the west wing, topped with a hipped slate roof. Further alterations occurred in the mid-19th century, including the removal of the original north entrance and the addition of brickwork to the south with low-pitched slate roofs. Two substantial red brick stacks are characteristic of the original building.

The north facade, dated 1716, is notable for the carved date in a central blind parapet window. The facade employs gauged bricks with fine joints, originally designed for symmetry. The wings slightly project, each featuring shaped parapets with incomplete stone copings and ball finials, a deep moulded cornice, and a high plinth with roll moulding. Pilasters are present at the quions, topped with moulded brick capitals. The east wing has two first-floor casement windows with leaded lights and aprons supported by plaster scroll brackets to moulded brick bands; the ground floor windows are similar but without aprons and sealed within later brickwork. The west wing has been slightly altered with replacement windows and an inserted door.

The central range has three bays, displaying three blind parapet windows with moulded brick sills and a segmental arch over the centre window. It also has three tall first-floor windows with moulded brick sills and replacement 19th-century hung sash windows with glazing bars. A portion of the moulded brick jamb from the original doorway is still visible next to a 18th-century canted 'Batty Langley' bay window, and a three-light window is set within a flat brick arch to the right. Inside, there are two staircases, one early and one from the mid-19th century. Other interior details are primarily from the 19th century. A very large cooking hearth has been sealed within an early 18th-century extension.
