Description
Swilland Hall is a house dating from the 16th century, with some alterations made in the early 17th century. It has two storeys and is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior. The roof is made of concrete tiles and features an internal chimney made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements added in the 20th century. There is an early 19th-century entrance porch, which is a single storey and made of painted brick, topped with a slate roof. This porch has a pair of doors with three fielded panels and an elliptical arched fanlight with radiating bars.
To the right, there is a 16th-century cross-wing that has exposed close-studwork and diamond-mullioned windows, some of which have been restored and glazed in the 20th century. The main hall range is slightly later and retains an original open fireplace and an attic floor. Both sections of the building feature wind-braced clasped-purlin roofs. The parlour cell on the left side is from the 18th or 19th century and may represent a rebuilding of an earlier parlour.
