Description

Sedgeford Hall is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with dates of 1766 and 1785 inscribed on the facade. It is constructed of gault brick with red brick dressings, and black glazed pantiled roofs. The house has two storeys with attics, and an "L" shaped layout.

The east front has seven regular bays and presents two storeys. A brick plinth is visible on the ground floor, alongside four wide sash windows with ground-level sills. Two narrower sashes flank the front door. The first floor has four wide sash windows and two narrower sashes either side of a central sash, all set in flush moulded wooden frames with flat, rubbed brick arches. A gault brick plat-band runs across the first floor, incorporating the graffito initials "R, SC, 17 MG 66" to the south of the porch. An eaves cornice of rubbed brick, with moulded courses, tops the front. The central door is accessed via a bowed wooden porch with two half columns, capitals, and an entablature, all fluted and with a stone moulded base. The porch has a flat, leaded roof with a valance and a 20th-century replacement roof. The porch has contemporary two-leaf outer doors with glazed margin lights, a fanlight above with white glazing bars set into black painted boarding, and a two-leaf raised and fielded inner door. Three attic dormers are visible, featuring a segmental moulded pediment in the centre and triangular pediments to the outer ones, with sash windows containing glazing bars. One ridge stack and one north gable stack are present.

A hipped south gable and a wing returning to the west include a ground floor, three-sided bow window and one first-floor window, both with sash windows and glazing bars. One blocked window is also present. The first-floor windows are topped with flat, rubbed brick arches, and the eaves cornice is continued. A lead hopper with the initials CRS and the date 1775 is located at the southwest corner. One attic two-light casement dormer is present, and a west end gable stack. A 20th-century lean-to conservatory is not of special interest. Attached to the west is a two-storey, rendered wing with a black pantiled roof.

A north wing was inserted by David Roberts between 1963 and 1967, constructed of buff brick with a flat roof.

The interior was largely remodelled in the 1960s, although one first-floor room retains early 18th-century moulded panelling, which is said to have originated from Holkham Hall.
