Description
Little Oakley Hall is a house that dates from the early 19th century, possibly with origins in the 18th century. It is constructed of gault brick in Flemish bond, with some red brick and plaster, and is topped with handmade red clay tiles. The main part of the house faces southeast and has an internal stack at each end.
To the left, there is a crosswing with an internal stack at the rear, a mid-19th century extension beside it, and a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension at the back. To the right, another crosswing features one internal stack and an external stack on the right, along with a 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension. The rear of the main range has 20th-century flat-roofed two-storey and single-storey extensions. Both crosswings project forward from the main structure.
The house is two storeys high with attics and has a four-window range of early 19th-century sashes with 20 lights, as well as a similar sash with 16 lights above the door, some of which contain crown glass. The left extension includes a mid-19th-century sash with 12 lights on the ground floor and a blocked sash on the first floor. There are two parapet gables, each featuring a blind window aperture, and one 19th-century casement window in a flat-roofed dormer. The central door from the 19th century is set within a Tuscan portico and has two round-headed lights. The roof of the main range is half-hipped.
Inside, where the framing is exposed, the posts are unjowled, the beams are either plain or chamfered with run-out stops, and the joists are plain and of deep vertical section, all typical features of the 18th and 19th centuries.
