Description

Hockham Hall is an early 18th-century house made of brick with a slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic, arranged in five bays. The central square porch, which dates from the late 18th century, features a pair of modified Tuscan columns alongside a pair of similar engaged columns that have fluting and reeding. The porch includes a glazed door with sidelights beneath a seven-vaned segmental fanlight, and it is topped with a heavy cornice.

The building has four ground floor and five first floor sash windows from the mid-19th century, all with glazing bars and timber canopy hoods. The windows are set beneath gauged skewback arches. A deep timber cornice creates a parapet, and the hipped roof is adorned with three dormers: one circular in the center and two others with pediments. The chimney stacks are placed asymmetrically. The south front of the house is similar in design, and there is a late 19th-century extension to the west that is one and a half storeys tall.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
