Loughton Hall

Loughton Hall is a large house built in 1878 by Eden Nesfield. It features red brickwork, some plaster, and a roof covered with red clay tiles. The design is in the Jacobean style, with some classical details on the southeast (garden) elevation. The house is aligned approximately northeast to southwest and has an aspect facing northwest. It includes five chimney stacks placed irregularly, a single-storey service wing to the northeast, and two small flat-roofed single-storey extensions added in the 20th century to the southwest.

The building has three storeys. The northwest elevation has two gabled bays, with the entrance located in the northwest bay. The entrance features a Jacobean style door set in a flat-roofed porch supported by eight Ionic columns, which are fluted above the midpoint. There is a stone balustrade between the columns and a wooden balustrade above. The entrance is accompanied by one three-panel door, three double-hung sash windows with eighteen lights, and two casement windows, all situated beneath segmental arches with an egg-and-dart border.

On the first floor, there are two large windows of Ipswich design and six casement windows with flat brick arches. The attic floor features a central dormer of Venetian design, along with two flat-roofed dormers that have casement windows. The chimney stacks are oblong in shape with canted bricks on the short side. An octagonal bellcote is positioned off-centre on the ridge, featuring leaded sides and an ogival lead roof. The date 1878 and the letter 'M' (for Maitland) are moulded in brick in some of the window arches. The style of Loughton Hall is similar to that of Norman Shaw's Chigwell Hall in Chigwell.
