Description
The Service Wing of Raynham Hall was built around 1731 by William Kent. It is constructed of red brick with a stone cornice and has a slated roof. The building is two stories high with attics and features a 13-bay east front, with a north front that returns to form an L shape. The rear has a red pantiled catslide roof.
On the east front, the ground floor has eight sash windows, while the first floor has thirteen sash windows, all with thick glazing bars set under rubbed brick arches. There is an off-centre six-panel door with a simple fanlight beneath a semi-circular rubbed brick arch. To the south, there are three inserted 20th-century double doors. The building also has three lead downpipes, a brick plinth, a first-floor plat-band, an eaves cornice, and a stone parapet.
There are nine attic dormers with two-light casements featuring single glazing bars, pedimented gables, and leaded roofs. The roof is hipped and has three brick ridge stacks, along with an off-centre leaded cupola. Attached to the south is a three-bay single-storey brick service corridor that leads to the Hall. At the rear, there are game larders, and on the north wall, there is a drying ground.
