Description
Monewden Hall is a small country house, dating from the mid-18th century, though it may incorporate an earlier core. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick, with a plaintile roof. The house is two storeys and has an attic, arranged in an E-shaped plan.
The main front has seven bays arranged symmetrically, with a central projecting porch that has a hipped roof. The porch contains a central door of eight raised and fielded panels, likely dating from around 1930. Either side of the porch are three bays with cross windows, featuring splayed heads. There is a band of three bricks depth between the ground and first floors, and seven cross windows on the first floor. A dentilled cornice runs below the eaves of the moulded brickwork. Seven two-light hipped dormers are set into the attic. A central axial ridge chimney stack is present.
A single-storey addition, dating from the 1930s, is attached to the left-hand side. The right-hand side features two bays with cross windows, matching the band and cornice found on the entrance front. An oval window of around 1930 is centrally placed on the first floor. A central flue runs axially with this wing to the ridge. The left-hand side is partially masked by the 1930s addition, but retains two bays with cross windows to both the ground and first floors.
The rear of the house features projecting wings on the left and right, and to the left of centre, all with hipped roofs. The right-hand wing has cross windows to the ground and first floors, a slightly projecting plinth, and the brick band and moulded cornice. A two-light hipped dormer sits above. The left-hand flank of this wing displays two cross windows to both ground and first floors. The left-hand wing features three-light casements to the ground and first floors, with a two-light hipped dormer above. The central projecting wing includes cross windows to the ground and first floors and a plank door to its right-hand side. Between the three wings are single bays with cross windows to the ground and first floors; the left-hand of these two bays has a flat-roofed 1930s addition at ground floor level connecting the central and left wings, with two-light hipped dormers above on the attic level. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
