Description
Hardingham Hall is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century, with significant refurbishments in the early and late 19th century. It is constructed of brick with some stone dressings and has pantile roofs. The original block is a large single pile, with full-height side additions projecting to the southeast and rear. The building has two storeys, attics, and a cellar.
The southwest facade of the original block was rearranged in the early 19th century, featuring tuck-pointed brickwork with seven bays of sash windows that have glazing bars beneath skewback arches. A late 19th-century central two-storey pedimented advancement replaced the former main entrance. This area is accented by giant stone pilasters with carved Corinthianesque capitals at the principal angles, likely dating from the early 19th century, and either re-used or imitated on the central advancement. The facade also includes a stone platband and a deep cove-moulded cornice. The steeply pitched hipped roof has three dormers, which contain sashes and segmental roofs.
A late 19th-century projecting side addition mimics the giant pilasters, platband, and cornice. The entrance facade to the northwest retains some 18th-century features, including a moulded brick platband and four blocked windows with raised key-stones and moulded brick sills. A late 19th or early 20th-century two-storey pedimented porch features two pairs of giant pilasters, a two-leaf part-glazed door with a flat stone hood supported by carved brackets, and the Edwards family arms on the tympanum.
Inside, the hall boasts extensive plasterwork, a late 19th-century staircase with twisted balusters and carved tread ends, and some elaborately carved 17th-century panelling believed to have originated from Hardingham Old Hall.
