Description

Uggeshall House is a former rectory, now a private residence, dating from the early 18th century. At the rear, now within a later addition, there is a brick inscribed 'I. Ewen' along with an early 18th-century date that is partly missing. The building has an L-shaped plan with various later additions. It is constructed of red brick, featuring two main facades that have a rendered torus-moulded plinth and a continuous plaster coved eaves cornice. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles.

The house has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical main facade facing southeast that includes five windows, which are sashes with glazing bars set in flush frames beneath flat brick arches. The doorway is adorned with an eared architrave, a convex frieze, and a pedimented cornice, and it features an 18th-century half-glazed door with two lower raised and fielded panels. There are three flat-roofed sashed dormers.

The left-hand return front is asymmetrical, with four windows similar to those on the main facade; however, it has two tall windows reaching to ground level on the right and a broader window on the left, along with a glazed entrance door. This side also includes two dormers and an internal stack. Behind the front range, there is a mid to late 19th-century addition that features a two-storey, three-light canted bay facing the churchyard. Inside, there are original closed-string stairs with turned balusters (two flights) and many original two-panel internal doors.
