Description
Oxburgh Hall is a house built in the late 17th century, remodelled in the 18th century, with additions from the 19th century. It features a brick construction with a roof made of a mix of slate, pantiles, plain tiles, and stone flags, arranged in a T plan. The south front is symmetrical and has two storeys. A central door is flanked by one full-height bay on each side, which are additions from the 1920s. Each floor has a four-light cross casement window with metal framed windows, and the bays end in rounded Dutch gables. The roof is gabled, and the east and west returns also have Dutch gables, with the eastern gable truncated by a straight gable on the northern half. There are two blocked windows on each floor of the east gable wall.
To the north, there is a two-storey, three-bay refacing featuring a central panelled door beneath a glazed overlight, set off at the first floor. This side has five late 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars under segmental arches with keystones. The gabled roof has internal gable stacks. The west front is notable for two round-headed windows that light the staircase and hall, also with glazing bars. A 17th-century three-light cross casement window remains on the ground floor. Additionally, a two-storey gabled kitchen and service range was added to the north in the 19th century.
Inside, there is an open well staircase dating from around 1700, featuring an open cut design with floral scrolled tread ends. Each tread has three balusters with square section bases and heads, and three ball turns lead into fluted or plain turned shafts. The handrail is ramped and wreathed to the lower newel, which is a fluted column. The stairwell has a panelled dado with fluted pilasters, and the first floor landing balustrade shares similar detailing.
