Herringfleet Hall

Herringfleet Hall is a house built in the 18th century and early to mid-19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is primarily constructed of colourwashed brick, while the entrance facade features stucco with banded rustication at the quoins and a flat parapet topped with a brick dentil cornice. The roof is covered with glazed black pantiles and the house has two storeys.

The entrance block, dating around 1840, has three bays, with the central bay slightly projecting. It includes sash windows, with the ground floor windows lacking glazing bars and the first-floor windows featuring large panes. The window surrounds are moulded, with a pediment above the ground floor windows and eared surrounds on the first floor. The entrance is highlighted by a Greek Doric porch, distyle in antis, which retains parts of its entablature. In front of this is an outer porch added in 1919, which was altered in the mid-20th century.

On the first floor, there are French windows with a cornice supported by console brackets, leading to a balustraded parapet of the original porch. To the right of the entrance block is a lower four-bay range from the 18th century, featuring original flush-frame sash windows with heavy glazing bars on the ground floor. The left return front has five bays, including a full-height three-light canted bay with inset large-paned sash windows and paired louvred shutters on the ground floor.

At the rear, there are two ranges of 18th-century work, both with a wooden modillion eaves cornice. The later section behind the entrance block includes an octagonal glazed lantern. Additionally, there is a 19th-century wing that runs at a right angle to the main block, ending in a five-bay orangery with tall semi-circular headed sash windows and a matching doorway. The interior has been significantly modernised, featuring a square staircase hall with a staircase that has stick balusters, a ramped and wreathed mahogany handrail, and carved tread-ends.
