Description
Sandon Hall is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with an east-west wing and a parallel mid-18th century range added to the south side. The building features a rendered timber frame and a gault-brick south front that was added around 1830, topped with plaintile roofs. A mid-19th century brewhouse is located at the rear.
The exterior of the south front is two storeys high and has a three-window range. It features a central projecting full-height pedimented projection with an arched entrance leading to an internal porch on the ground floor. There are pilasters on either side, with an arch at the upper level framing a central recess that contains one 20th-century window under a gauged skewback arch. The main wall has 20th-century windows, with those on the ground floor set under segmental arches and those above under gauged skewback arches. The entrance door is a six-panelled design, and there is a nearly central ridge stack. The west flank has three early 19th-century horned tripartite sashes and a 20th-century lean-to conservatory, along with two single-light casements on the first floor. The north elevation features one similar tripartite sash and three three-light casements, with the ridge stack positioned west of centre. The single-storey brewhouse has one 20th-century door and two casements.
Inside, the entrance lobby once had an arched passageway through the stack, which is identifiable from both sides but is now blocked to the north. There are six-panelled doors leading to the principal rooms. The southeast room includes two angled corner cupboards, each with single-panelled double doors below an arched display cabinet with serpentine shelving. The north cupboard has fluted and reeded side pilasters supporting the arch. A boxed spine beam is also present. The rear range has been remodelled into a kitchen, featuring a rebuilt brick range fireplace in the west wall. The brewhouse contains two heavy cambered tie beams. The main roof consists of three bays with queen-post trusses, lower purlins trenched into the angle between the queen posts, and straight braces to the wall plate. The straight collars are present, and the roof is plastered, making the upper purlins not visible, though they are probably clasped.
