Description

Bocking Hall is a 15th century and later house built in an H-plan layout. It features a timber frame with a roof that is pegtiled and hipped at the front. The front wall is covered in red brick and has a stone-coped parapet, along with a dentilled eaves-band and pilastered returns. The first storey includes a range of four small-paned, hornless sash windows in exposed boxes, all set under straight arches. The ground storey has a central door in a wide case with fielded-panelled reveals, topped by an open dentilled pediment. There are also two pairs of hornless, small-paned sash windows on either side of the door, each under straight arches.
