Description

Little Hockham Hall is a house dating from around 1600, with a mid-19th century facade. The front is made of brick, while the rear is timber framed with rendered wattle and daub infill. The building has slate roofs and is two storeys high. The original range features cross wings that include some 18th century casements, while the rest are from the mid-20th century. The north wing is weatherboarded at the gable, and the south wing has been rebuilt in brick casing with a gable. There is a large external stack on the south side, which is stepped and has two octagonal shafts. The main range has a gable with a central ridge stack on a heavy plinth, featuring six octagonal shafts. The 19th century range to the east is of no particular interest. Inside, the sitting room has a close studded timber frame and one bridging beam, along with a good fireplace beneath a four-centred moulded brick arch made of English bond. The jambs and arch feature one sunk hollow and one sunk quadrant moulding. The dining room fireplace is similar and has chamfered brickwork. The timber framing of the north wing remains intact.
