Description

Brandiston Hall is a country house dating from around 1600, with remodelling that occurred in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features steeply-pitched roofs that are both plain-tiled and pantiled, with some parts hipped. It has two storeys and attics, arranged in an L-shaped plan with a double pile.

The principal facade faces south and consists of five bays. It includes three projecting two-storey bays that have castellated parapets, rusticated quoins, and corner finials. The central bay is adorned with octagonal angle charts and moulded brick finials. The entrance features a segmental-headed door, while the windows are two and three light casements with mullions and transoms, displaying intersecting tracery in their heads. There are label moulds over the openings.

At the attic level, there are three shaped gables, each with segmental-headed windows that have "Y" shaped glazing bars. Brick buttresses flank the central bay and are topped with moulded brick finials. The main roof has shaped gables and gable chimney stacks with twin diagonally-set chimney shafts, along with moulded brick gable finials.

To the rear, there is a double-pile wing that has twin shaped gables, with iron tie ends dated 1647 on the east side. The windows in this section are three light casements, some featuring leaded glazing, and there are rectangular label moulds over the openings. The chimney stacks here have double and triple diagonally-set shafts. Additionally, there is a pantiled lean-to on the west side, situated behind a castellated brick screen wall.
