Pattiswick Hall

Pattiswick Hall is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with handmade red plain tiles. Originally, the long-jetty house faced southwest and featured an axial stack. To the right end, there are three parallel wings of various dates, two internal stacks, and a single-storey extension. The building has now been reversed to face northeast.

It stands two storeys high with attics. On the northeast elevation, the ground floor has three 19th-century tripartite sash windows with 4-12-4 lights and one 19th-century casement window. The first floor features four early 19th-century sash windows with 12 lights and two 19th-century casements, while the attic has one 19th-century casement. A six-panel door is located at the front of a lean-to porch in the northern angle, accompanied by a Gothick casement on the right side.

The southwest elevation shows scattered fenestration on the ground floor and four 18th or early 19th-century sash windows with 12 lights, made of crown glass, on the first floor. There are also two flat-roofed dormers, one containing a horizontal sash window with 9 + 9 lights. An early 19th-century half-glazed door features a fanlight with radial tracery.

The full-length jetty is dropped at the right end below the remainder and is plastered. The close-studded frame is heavily plastered and boxed in, revealing axial beams with double ogee mouldings in the two northwest bays. The axial stack, located two bays from this end, has a wide wood-burning hearth that was reduced in width in the 18th century, featuring a cast iron fireback with the Royal oak and the letters C.R. for Charles II.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century stair with a pine handrail and stick balusters leading from the ground to the attic, along with two similar stairs from the first floor to the attic. One bay near the southeast end has a chamfered axial beam supported on moulded ledges on the posts, with plain joists of vertical section. The original roof includes principal rafters (some of which are hollow-moulded), heavy arched collars, and moulded clasped purlins with plain arched wind-bracing. The first floor features 19th-century dentilled coving.
