Description

Billingford Hall is an 18th-century house constructed of limewashed brick with black and red pantile roofs. The building has a U-shaped plan, featuring full-height wings that project to the rear of the main block, with the space between the wings later filled in. It stands two storeys high with attics and has a facade of five bays, each containing sash windows with glazing bars set beneath skewback arches. The central bay is slightly advanced and has four blocked narrow windows flanking the central openings.

A shallow porch was added in the late 18th century, which features a two-leaf part-glazed door and doorcase, along with an arched fanlight set within an open dentilated pediment on panelled pilasters. The original front door is partly glazed and has raised and fielded lower panels, topped with a Y-traceried fanlight. The building also has a plain platband and three flat-roofed dormers with two-light windows, metal casements, and leaded glazing. The gables exhibit tumbling-in, and there are stacks located at the gable ends of the wings and one gable end of the main block. Additionally, there is a later two-storey side extension to the main block and single-storey outhouses at the rear.
