Mucking Hall

Mucking Hall is a house that consists of two main sections, with the older part dating from the 16th century or earlier and constructed from timber framing, while the later section is made of gault brick and dates from the early 19th century. The building features red plain tiled hipped roofs and a plastered south face, with plastered chimney stacks on each range. There is a loggia on the left side supported by cast iron brackets. The house is two storeys high with attics and has a parapet that includes three bays, small paned vertically sliding sash windows, gauged brick arches, and a French window on the ground floor to the right. The central entrance has a recessed four-panel two-light door with a fluted surround, a frieze, and a flat canopy above it. Inside, notable features include a restored inglenook fireplace, a crown post roof with cut-away braces, six-panel doors with fluted surrounds that have lion head paterae, and a stone fire surround. Mucking Hall is one of the Manors of Barling and is situated on a moated site.
