Description

Aldborough Hall is a house built in the 17th century and early 19th century. It features a mix of gault brick, red brick, and flint, topped with a pantile roof and a hipped slate roof. The building has an irregular plan and stands two storeys tall with a six-bay south facade. The central two bays project under a pedimented gable that includes a circular window. A Doric porch with two pairs of columns leads to a semi-circular headed doorway, which has a glazed upper half and a blank lower half. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, and the oversailing eaves have diamond-shaped details on the soffits.

To the west, there is a single bay, two-storey extension built in 1919 over a boiler house. The east face features one sash window with a sill at ground level. At the rear, there is a projecting gabled wing, dated 1636 on the inside, made of flint with brick dressings around the windows. This wing has a brick octagonal stack that is corbelled at the first-floor level. The first floor includes a round-headed sash window with radiating glazing bars, a small sash window under a hood mould, and two small attic windows also under hood moulds.

Inside, the entrance hall has stone flagging and moulded plaster cornices. The rear hall features a cantilevered staircase with plain oak balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The stairwell reveal is decorated with a carved Vitruvian scroll that is echoed in the plaster cornice, and there is a curved landing with an oval stair light that has radiating glazing bars and swags on the reveal. The attic includes three semi-circular openings with glazing bars. The rear staircase in the gabled wing has "1636" inset in the wall, and there is one ovolo moulded beam in this wing.
