Description
Micklefield Hall is a large house dating from the early to mid 18th century, with alterations made around 1800, and further extensions and modifications around 1900 and 1925. The building is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof. It has two storeys and a three-bay front with a slightly projecting central section. The early 20th-century brick porch has double doors topped with a gauged brick flat arched head, pilasters leading to a cornice, and a stone-coped parapet, with small sashes on the returns. The first floor has a central sash window with a stone sill and flat arched head, flanked by smaller outer sashes. The house has a stone plinth and a dentilled brick course beneath modillioned timber eaves. There is an early 20th-century central pediment, modillioned with a blind oculus, and a stack to the left of the pediment featuring a panelled shaft and oversailing cap. A ridge stack is located to the right on the early 20th-century hipped roof.
The left return has five bays with glazing bar sashes and a ridge stack. The rear also has five bays with sashes, including French windows on the ground floor to the right and a blind opening, along with a ridge stack. To the right, there is a slightly set-back two-storey service wing built of plum brick around 1900, featuring glazing bar sashes with cambered heads, sprocket eaves, and a ridge stack, with the roof hipped to the right leading to a projecting two-bay square block from 1925, which has sashes with cambered heads and a pyramidal roof with a ridge stack. There is a similar block behind with a recess on the right return and an entrance below the projecting first floor. The service range at the rear includes a double hipped projection.
Inside, the hall features an early 19th-century groin vaulted entrance hall and stair hall, adorned with Vitruvian scrolled friezes and reeded architraves.
