Description
North Fambridge Hall is a house that dates mainly from around 1600, though it may have medieval origins and was altered in the 19th century. The structure is timber framed and clad with red brick in Flemish bond, with some areas painted. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles.
The main range has three bays facing north, with an axial stack located in the middle bay. To the right, there is a two-bay crosswing that projects forward, along with a single-storey ancillary building roofed with red clay pantiles. To the left, there is a three-bay crosswing that projects both forwards and backwards, featuring a central stack. The building has angle towers at both corners, with the front roof hipped and the rear roof gabled to the side.
In front of the main range, there are two single-storey lean-to extensions, one of which has a sheet metal roof. There is also a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension at the rear of the left crosswing. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has scattered fenestration from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The left (east) elevation features two mid-19th century sash windows with eight lights on the ground floor, and two similar sash windows along with a mid-19th century central sash with a semi-circular head on the first floor. The central entrance has glazed double doors in a simple doorcase with a blocked overlight, radial tracery, and a dentilled semi-elliptical canopy.
Inside the left crosswing, there are two ovolo-moulded binding beams, an early 19th-century recessed cupboard with an arched head, and early 19th-century folding shutters. The main range includes chamfered axial beams (one featuring lamb's tongue stops), plain joists of square and horizontal section, and a large wood-burning hearth that has been reduced for a modern grate. The right crosswing displays exposed jowls, chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of vertical section, and a clasped purlin roof with arched wind-bracing.
