Wacton Hall

Wacton Hall is a 16th-century house, largely timber-framed and mostly rendered, with a brick-faced north end. It has a steep black glazed pantile roof with gabled ends. The house is two storeys and has an attic. A three-storey gabled porch is located near the centre, featuring octagonal angle shafts with finials; a round arch doorway is topped with a cornice and further shafts, and retains its original door within a heavy moulded doorcase. To the left of the porch are three widely spaced windows, while two windows are positioned to the right. The windows are 18th and 19th-century 3- and 4-light casements with later dripmoulds. A 18th-century pilastered doorcase, complete with an entablature and semi-circular fanlight, is present on the right side of the house. A brick chimney stack at the north end has three octagonal flues with moulded bases, while a rear (west) chimney stack is also brick with two octagonal flues. Inside, a dog-leg staircase features moulded balusters and newels. A room in the north end contains 17th and 18th-century panelling, with niches framing the fireplace. The first-floor rooms retain ceiling beams with ovolo moulded chamfers.
