Service Range To South West Of Blickling Hall

The service range located to the south-west of Blickling Hall is a former service building that now serves as National Trust offices. It is dated 1624 on the east front but has undergone significant rebuilding behind the facade in the late 19th century. The structure is made of red brick with stucco dressings and features some decorative diaper-work. It has a steeply-pitched roof that is plain tiled on the east side and pantiled on the west.

The building is two storeys high with an attic and has an east facade consisting of 14 bays. Notably, bays 3, 6, 9, and 12 are adorned with Dutch gables that have moulded brick base-corbels. The windows are three-light ovolo-moulded mullion types with leaded glazing and iron casements, and there are transoms above the first-floor windows. The attic features two-light windows set within the gables, with square stuccoed panels above them.

There are five semicircular-headed door openings, each with plain stuccoed pilasters resting on a red brick plinth. A moulded platband runs above the heads of the ground floor windows, and there is a Dutch gable on the north side. The west side has been largely rebuilt and includes sash and top-hung windows, all with glazing bars set in plain stuccoed surrounds, along with a moulded eaves cornice. The building is capped with six ridge stacks that have diagonally-set square shafts arranged in groups of two, three, and four.
