Hockwold Hall

Hockwold Hall is a house located on Station Road in Hockwold cum Wilton, dating from the early 17th century but has undergone significant alterations. The building is primarily constructed of brick with some stone quoining and features plain tile roofs, arranged in an E plan. It stands two storeys high with an attic and presents a symmetrical north front.

The entrance is marked by a two-storey porch with a crenellated parapet, which contains a 20th-century door beneath a flat hood. Above the porch are 19th-century Gothick windows, while on the ground floor, there are two 18th-century two-light cross casements flanking the porch. The first floor features two additional 19th-century Gothick windows. The eaves are coved with a timber cornice, and the gabled roof includes a flat-headed dormer with a casement.

The east cross wing has a first-floor string course that undulates beneath the windows, which include four 17th-century four-light casements with hollow moulded mullions and renewed leaded lights. The north gable wall has two similar windows alongside other 19th-century features, and there is a partly external end stack with quadruple diamond flues. The west cross wing mirrors this layout but has all 19th-century fenestration.

On the south front, there is a stepped gable to the west, and in the center, a crenellated octagonal turret features a 19th-century door and windows. An external stack to the right tapers to quadruple renewed octagonal flues and includes a wall sundial set at first-floor level. The facade's fenestration is predominantly 19th-century, varying in size and type, and features a saw tooth eaves cornice. An 18th-century crenellated single-storey extension partly obscures the left bays. The interior of the house has been much altered.
