Great Sarratt Hall

Great Sarratt Hall is a house, originally dating to 1710 as indicated by a datestone, though it was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century. Further extensions and alterations occurred in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed primarily of red brick, later rebuilt in yellow stock brick, with a slate hipped roof. It is three storeys high and has a three-window front from the 19th century. A 20th-century glazed Doric porch with a pediment provides the entrance in the left bay. The ground floor has a central blocked entrance, with a 16-pane sash window in the reveal to the right, featuring a gauged brick flat arched head. The first floor has a central 12-pane sash window flanked by 16-pane sashes, all with flat arched heads. The second floor has a broader 9-pane window flanked by 12-pane sashes. Pilaster strips are present at the ends of the façade. A panelled eaves soffit runs along the top. Set back to the sides are single-bay wings; the wing to the right is two storeys high, while the wing to the left is one storey high, both with 16-pane sashes and pilaster strips. The left return of the main block retains 18th-century red brick in the lower two storeys. There is an external stack with a rebuilt cap. Towards the rear, upper-storey sashes have cambered heads, and a ground-floor canted entrance outshut with a hipped roof is present. A large tripartite full-length sash window is situated in the left end of the one-storey wing, accompanied by a verandah supported on scroll-headed, slender iron shafts. To the rear left is a three-storey, one-bay addition from the late 19th century with a ground-floor canted bay and upper-storey sashes with cambered heads. The right return of the two-storey wing has a 20th-century ground-floor addition and three first-floor sashes, along with a repositioned datestone reading: "This Farme is to Pay ls. yearely for tithe to the Free English Schoole at WATFORD. This Farmehouse was Built by S.C. 1710." The building has a double-depth hipped roof and a right-end stack on the main block. The rear elevation features a single bay of 18th-century brickwork on the left, two storeys high, with cambered heads to the sashes. An entrance is located in the two-bay re-entrant elevation of a projecting late 19th-century block to the right. A one-storey hipped outshut is located to the rear of the two-storey wing.
